Chapter 6, Problem 6.37SP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The reaction rate if the concentration of ethyl bromide is doubled.

Interpretation: If the concentration of ethyl bromide is doubled, then its effect on reaction rate is to be stated.

Concept introduction: ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}2$ reaction is called as substitution nucleophilic bimolecular. These reactions depend upon the concentration of both the alkyl halide and the nucleophile.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The reaction rate if the concentration of ethyl bromide is doubled and the concentration of potassium tert-butoxide is tripled.

Interpretation: If the concentration of ethyl bromide is doubled and the concentration of potassium tert-butoxide is tripled, then its effect on reaction rate is to be stated.

Concept introduction: ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}2$ reaction is called as substitution nucleophilic bimolecular. These reactions depend upon the concentration of both the alkyl halide and the nucleophile.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The effect of temperature increase on reaction rate.

Interpretation: The effect of temperature increase on reaction rate is to be stated.

Concept introduction: ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}2$ reaction is called as substitution nucleophilic bimolecular. These reactions depend upon the concentration of both the alkyl halide and the nucleophile.
