### SN2 Reaction Rates: Compound Comparison**Question 2**: For each pair of the following compounds, identify which compound and conditions would react more rapidly in an \(S_N2\) reaction? Briefly explain the deciding factor.---#### A. **Compounds**:1. \( \text{1-chloro-2-fluoropropane} \)2. \( \text{3-chloropropane} \) **Structures**:1. \( \text{CH3CH(F)CH2Cl} \)2. \( \text{CH3C(Cl)CH3} \)#### B. **Compounds**:1. \( \text{1-trifluoromethanesulfonoxypropane} \) (\( \text{OTf} \))2. \( \text{1-bromopropane} \)**Structures**:1. \( \text{CH3CH(OTf)CH3} \)2. \( \text{CH3CH(Br)CH3} \)#### C.**Reaction Conditions**:1. Potassium hydroxide (\( \text{KOH} \)) in **methanol**2. Potassium hydroxide (\( \text{KOH} \)) in **acetone****Structures**:- \( \text{CH3CH2CH2Cl} \, \xrightarrow{\text{KOH}} \, \text{methanol} \)- \( \text{CH3CH2CH2Cl} \, \xrightarrow{\text{KOH}} \, \text{acetone} \)---### Explanation of Deciding Factors1. **A. Steric Hindrance**: - In an \(S_N2\) reaction, the nucleophile attacks the carbon atom bearing the leaving group from the opposite side. Steric hindrance around this carbon significantly influences the reaction rate. - For compound A, the 1-chloro-2-fluoropropane (first structure) is primary (1°), while the 3-chloropropane (second structure) is tertiary (3°). A primary carbon is less sterically hindered compared to a tertiary carbon. Therefore, 1-chloro-2-fluoropropane will react more rapidly in an \(S_N2
