In the E2-elimination reaction of propyl bromide with sodium ethoxide, a graduate student performed two separate kH/kD experiments. In the first experiment, the student labeled the internal CH2 group with deuterium and compared the rate of this deuterated reactant to that of the protio propyl bromide. In the second experiment, the student labeled the CH2 group attached to the bromide with deuterium and compared the rate of the protio propyl bromide. Predict and rationalize the magnitude for the expected kH/kD for each of these experiments? Classify the isotope measured in each of these experiments as primary/secondary and normal/inverse
