Reactions are impacted by various factors that depend on the mechanism of the reaction. Some of the variables for substitution reactions are: • strength of the nucleophile • concentration of the nucleophile • leaving group ability (i.e., is it a “bad” or a “good” leaving group? In an SN2 reaction, the nucleophile forces the leaving group to leave. (This is the rate-determining step of the reaction.) In an SN1 reaction, the nucleophile does not attack until the leaving group has left. (When the leaving group leaves, this is the rate-determining step of the reaction.) Based on the information provided in this question, which factors would favor an SN2 reaction? Choose one or more: A.a strong nucleophile B.a good leaving group C.a high concentration of nucleophile Based on the information provided in this question, which factors would favor an SN1 reaction? Choose one or more: A.a strong nucleophile B.a good leaving group C.a high concentration of nucleophile
