In the elimination reaction of 5-bromononane with potassium ethoxide in ethanol, draw Newmann projections showing the conformation leading to cis-4-nonene and trans-4-nonene, respectively. Indicate the hydrogen that is lost in each case and suggest a mechanism that explains the observed stereoselectivity.

Write the mechanism that explains the following transformation:
