Can someone give me an example where an organic halide is produced by an elimination reaction?

OpenStudy (thadyoung):

In general, elimination reactions involve the removal of a halide. But you have two types, E1 and E2. One example is tert butyl chloride in water (this a tertiary molecule), forming a carbocation, as water comes in to form tert butanol. Are you familiar with E1 and E2 reactions?

OpenStudy (thadyoung):

As you incresee the temp, as you may remember from either general chemistry or physical chemistry, as you increase the temperature, you also increase the rates of the reactions going on. This is why as T increases, it favors elimination (not subsitution). although the mechanism is relatively similar to Sn\(_1\)

i'm sorry i did not understand any of that, is there any way you could draw it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and are alcohols saturated compounds?

i didn't show the detailed mechanism here, but this is what happens overall.
