1. Compare the rates of the SN2 reactions and SN1 reactions. Which type of reaction had faster reactions? What could account for this difference? 2. How did varying the concentration affect the rate of the SN2 reactions? How did it affect the rate of the SN1 reactions? How does this relate to the rate law?

reactions? What could account for this difference?
2. How did varying the concentration affect the rate of the SN2 reactions? How did it affect the rate of
the SN1 reactions? How does this relate to the rate law?
3. How could you design an instrument to more accurately test the reaction rate?
4. Which is more polar, acetone or ethanol? What was the effect of varying the polarity of the solvent
in the SN1 reaction? Why does varying the polarity affect the rate?
5. How would using ethanol as a solvent affect the rate in the SN2 reactions?
