9. (a) Under certain conditions, the reaction of 0.5 M 1-bromobutane with 1.0 M sodium methoxide forms 1-methoxybutane at a rate of 0.05 mol/L per second. What would be the rate if 0.1 M 1-bromobutane and 2.0 M NaOCH3 were used? (b) Consider the reaction of 1-bromobutane with a large excess of ammonia (NH3). Draw the reactants, the transition state, and the products. Note that the initial product is the salt of an amine (RNH+ Br) which is deprotonated by the excess ammonia to give the amine. (c) Show another SN2 reaction using a different combination of an alkoxide and an alkyl bromide that also produces 1-methoxybutane.

In 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?
When bromomethane undergoes solvolysis in a solvent mixture composed of 90% water/10% acetone, the reaction rate is faster than when the same compound is solvolyzed in 80% water/20% acetone. Explain.
Peroxides are often added to free-radical reactions as initiators because the oxygen–oxygen bond cleaves homolytically rather easily. For example, the bond-dissociation enthalpy of the O¬O bond in hydrogen peroxide (H¬O¬O¬H) is only 213 kJ>mol (51 kcal>mol). Give a mechanism for the hydrogen peroxide-initiated reaction of cyclopentane with chlorine. The BDE for HO¬Cl is 210 kJ>mol (50 kcal>mol).

The rate of the above reaction is determined experimentally to follow second-order kinetics. Give a fully labelled sketch of a reaction coordinate diagram for the reaction. 4. draw a mechanism on a piece of paper (using curly arrows) to show the formation of Compound 2 from Compound 1 including any activated complex.
The nitro groups on the benzene ring in the reactant serve two purposes.One is to let you know what atoms in the reactant correspond to what atomsin the product. But what role do the nitro groups play electronically – whywould the reaction be much slower if these nitro groups weren’t attached tothose benzene carbons? Draw any relevant structures to support youranswer.
