Question
**Understanding How the Degree of Substrate Substitution Affects Reaction Mechanisms**

You want to replace all the Cl atoms in the following molecule with hydroxyl (OH) groups, and you know there are two competing mechanisms by which this reaction can occur:

**Mechanism 1:** A nucleophile can replace the Cl atom in several steps, the slowest of which is unimolecular. Highlight in red the Cl atom that would be replaced quickest if the reaction were by this type of mechanism.

**Mechanism 2:** A nucleophile can replace the Cl atom in a concerted, bimolecular step. Highlight in blue the Cl atom that would be replaced quickest if the reaction went by this type of mechanism.

If you would highlight the same Cl atom for both mechanisms, highlight it in green instead.

The image shows a chemical structure with three chlorine (Cl) atoms attached to a carbon backbone. The task involves using color-coded highlights (red, blue, green) to identify which Cl atom would be replaced fastest according to the given mechanisms.

**Explanation and Tools:**
Three color options are provided for marking:
- Red for Mechanism 1
- Blue for Mechanism 2
- Green if the same Cl is highlighted for both mechanisms

**Diagram:**

- There is a skeletal formula of a hydrocarbon chain with three chlorine atoms attached.
