(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The stronger nucleophile among the given pairs of nucleophiles that is used in the ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}2$ reaction (using alcohol as a solvent).

Interpretation: The stronger nucleophile among the given pairs of nucleophiles that is used in the ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}2$ reaction (using alcohol as a solvent) is to be predicted.

Concept introduction: The replacement or substitution of one functional group with another different functional group in any chemical reaction is termed as substitution reaction. There are two types of substitution reaction.

The nucleophilic reaction contains a substrate as well as a nucleophile as the reactants which mean a bimolecular nucleophilic reaction is termed as ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{2}$ reaction. It includes the bond-making and bond-breaking steps. This is a one-step reaction in which both nucleophile and substrate participate in the rate determining step.
