Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The reaction of 2-bromopentane to pent-2-ene:It is a -elimination because is removed from the -carbon.It follows Zaitsev's rule because the more substituted alkene (pent-2-ene) is the major product.It is a dehydrohalogenation because and are removed.It is not dehydration (removal of water).
