Concept Introduction:
The relationship between the rate of the reaction and concentrations of the given nucleophile and alkyl halide can be represented as follows.
Thus,
Where, k is the rate constant.
(b)
Interpretation:
How the rate of the reaction between bromomethane and hydroxide ion be affected when the concentration of the alkyl halide is cut in half and the concentration of the nucleophile is not changed has to be explained.

- which will proceed more easily at room temperature the bromination of cyclohexene or the bromination of benzene?arrow_forwardIn an SN2 reaction between 2-chlorobutane and iodide ion, what happens to the rate of the reaction if: (a) the concentration of 2-chlorobutane is doubled? (b) the concentration of iodide is doubled?arrow_forwardHow does changing the halide from (CH3)3CBr to CH3CH2CH2Br affect the rate of an E1 reaction?arrow_forward
- How does doubling [B:] affect the rate of an E1 reaction?arrow_forwardThe rate of the reaction of methyl iodide with quinuclidine was measured in nitrobenzene, and then the rate of the reaction of methyl iodide with triethylamine was measured in the same solvent. The concentration of the reagents was the same in both experiments. a. Which reaction had the larger rate constant? b. The same experiment was done using isopropyl iodide instead of methyl iodide. Which reaction had the larger rate constant? c. Which alkyl halide has the larger kquinuclidine/ktriethylamine ratioarrow_forwardThe rate of the reaction of methyl iodide with quinuclidine was measured in nitrobenzene, and then the rate of the reaction of methyl iodide withtriethylamine was measured in the same solvent. The concentration of the reagents was the same in both experiments.a. Which reaction had the larger rate constant?b. The same experiment was done using isopropyl iodide instead of methyl iodide. Which reaction had the larger rate constant? c. Which alkyl halide has the larger kquinuclidine/ktriethylamine ratio?arrow_forward
- If the alkyl halide in each of these reactions was an alkyl chloride instead of thebromide,A. the reaction rate would decrease.B. a better leaving group would be involved. C. a polar aprotic solvent would be needed.D. ΔG would be decreased.arrow_forwardHow does doubling [RX] affect the rate of an E1 reaction?arrow_forwardWhy aryl bromide is a bad starting material for an electrophilic aromatic substitution? What is different about a nucleophilic aromatic substitution that allows this reagent to be a useful starting material for that reaction?arrow_forward
- The reaction of an amine with an alkyl halide gives an ammonium salt. The rate of this SN2 reaction is sensitive to the polarity of the solvent. Draw an energy diagram for this reaction in a nonpolar solvent and another in a polar solvent. Consider the nature of the transition state, and explain why this reaction should be sensitive to the polarity of the solvent. Predict whether it will be faster or slower in a more polar solvent.arrow_forwardWhat type of product would form when LDA( strong base/weak nucleophile) is reacted with( methyl halide) no reaction SN1 E2 E1 SN2arrow_forwardHow does changing the solvent from CH3OH to DMSO affect the rate of an E2 reaction?arrow_forward
