Question
**Question 11:** Rank the following in order of decreasing rate of solvolysis with aqueous ethanol (fastest → slowest).

**Structures:**

1. \[
   \text{H}_2\text{C} = \text{C} - \text{Br}
   \]
   \[
   \text{CH}_3
   \]
   (Structure 1)

2. \[
   \begin{array}{c}
   \text{CH}_3 \\
   \text{-Br-} \\
   \end{array}
   \]
   (Cyclohexane structure with bromine and methyl substituents) 
   (Structure 2)

3. \[
   \text{Br}-\text{CH}(\text{CH}_3)\text{CH}_2\text{CH}(\text{CH}_3)_2
   \]
   (Structure 3)

**Options:**

- (a) 2 > 1 > 3
- (b) 1 > 2 > 3
- (c) 2 > 3 > 1
- (d) 1 > 3 > 2

**Explanation:** The question asks for the order based on the rate of solvolysis, which is a chemical reaction where a solute is dissolved by the solvent, often involving substitution reactions with nucleophiles. The structures are arranged to show potential sites for solvolysis reactions involving bromine as a leaving group.
