The reason for 2-bromobutane to react faster than 2-chlorobutane in the test ofsilver nitrate with ethanol and
Concept Introduction:

Answer to Problem 1Q
In 2-bromobutane, -Br is a better leaving group than −Cl therefore it reacts faster than 2-chlorobutane.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Both 2-bromobutane and 2-chlorobutane give positive test with silver nitrate with ethanol and KI with acetone.
In 2-bromobutane, -Br is a better leaving group than −Cl therefore it reacts faster than 2-chlorobutane. The −Br leaving group is a weak base therefore it is a good leaving group compare to −Cl which is a stronger base and weak leaving group.
Hence 2-bromobutane reacts faster than 2-chlorobutane with silver nitrate with ethanol and
In 2-bromobutane, -Br is a better leaving group than −Cl therefore it reacts faster than 2-chlorobutane.
