Answer #1

The reaction goes via E1 elimination pathway as the Br is attached to a 30 carbon so it the C-Br bond will break easily to form a 30 carbocation and then the C2H5Oh will act as a base and remove one proton.

Step-4 t Br Br ez Hs oH

The energy profile diagram will be:

PS2 EA AE Reaelon Co-rdbnate

Where Ea is the activation energy to break C-Br bond and the ∆E is the heat of the reaction. There are two transition states and one carbocation intermidiate forms.
