Question
I know the primary carbon must be a Sn2 and tertiary must be a Sn1 but I still confusing for secondary carbon whether Sn1 or Sn2. I cannot understnad the explanations. The rate determinating steps r still confusing concepts for me

Qu 6. What effect would you expect the following changes to have on the rate of the SN2
reaction of 1-iodo-2-methylbutane with CN in acetone?
(a) CN concentration is halved
This is an SN2 reaction, in which the rate is dependent on both substrates, hence
halving one will halve the rate of the reaction
(b) 1-iodo-2-methylbutane concentration is doubled
I
This is an SN2 reaction, in which the rate is dependent on both substrates, hence
doubling one will double the rate of the reaction
(c) 1-iodo-2-methylbutane was replaced with 1-fluoro-2-methylbutane
Fluorine is a much worse leaving group compared with iodine, hence the rate of the
reaction would decrease significantly
