Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The mechanism of substitution for the given reaction and the solvent that afford the faster reaction is to be determined.

Concept introduction: Nucleophilic substitution reaction takes place by two mechanisms, SN1 and SN2. In SN1 mechanism, formation of carbocation takes place by removal of halide and then nucleophile attack on that carbocation. However in SN2 mechanism, removal of halide and attack of nucleophile takes place simultaneously. The polar protic solvent favors SN1 reaction whereas polar aprotic solvent favors SN2 reaction.
