What product is obtained when the following compound undergoes two successive elimination reactions?

cis-1-Bromo-4-tert-butylcyclohexane and trans-1-bromo-4-tert-butylcyclohexane both react with sodium ethoxide in ethanol to form 4-tert-butylcyclohexene. Explain why the cis isomer reacts much more rapidly than the trans isomer.
Rank the following from most reactive to least reactive in an E2reaction:

How will the rate of the reaction between bromomethane and hydroxide ion be affected if the following changes in concentration are made?
a. The concentration of the alkyl halide is not changed and the concentration of the nucleophile is tripled.
b. The concentration of the alkyl halide is cut in half and the concentration of the nucleophile is not changed.
c. The concentration of the alkyl halide is cut in half and the concentration of the nucleophile is doubled.
Starting with cyclohexene, how could the following compounds be prepared?
a. methoxycyclohexane
b. cyclohexylmethylamine
