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.

- When performing a Grignard reaction it is also very important that the reaction be free from acetone (a chemical we commonly use to clean the glassware). Why must the glassware be free from acetone? A. Acetone reacts with the diethyl ether causing a side reaction to occur B. Acetone is a nucleophile that will react with the Grignard reagent C. Acetone reacts with the bromobenzene D. Acetone is an electrophile that will react with the Grignard reagentarrow_forward50. Why do we need to use lewis acids before electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction proceeds? to produce a better nucleophile to make the reaction proceed faster to make the starting material more activated to produce a better electrophilearrow_forwardThe 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_forward
- For each reaction below identify the electrophile and the nucleophile.arrow_forwardThe following reaction takes place several times faster than the reaction of 2-chlorobutane with HO-: a. Explain the enhanced reaction rate.b. Explain why the OH group in the product is not bonded to the carbon that was bonded to the Cl group in the reactant.arrow_forwardDraw the alkyl bromide and the nucleophilearrow_forward
- True or false 1.an intermediate is produced in the SN2 reactiom is a carboncation. 2.In SN1 reactions nucleophile HI will react faster than HCL 3.Halogenated waste can be disposed off in a general waste solvent.arrow_forwardWhy is the reaction of the type shown below usually done? a.To make an aldehyde or ketone less water soluble b.To make the molecule more reactive c.To protect a ketone or aldehyde carbonyl d.To increase the oxygen content e.To make the alpha hydrogens more acidicarrow_forwardIndicate who acts as nucleophile and electrophile in the reaction and draw the hemiacetal product.arrow_forward
- Explain why acetals do not react with nucleophiles.arrow_forwardWhat is the reagent in this given 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
