(a)
Interpretation:
Whether heating will increase the yield of the product in the given reaction is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The products of a reaction between a substrate and a nucleophile are, in most cases, a mixture of the substitution product and the elimination product.
In a substitution reaction, the number of particles (molecules/ions) does not change, but in an elimination reaction, it increases by 1. This leads to a positive entropy change. This means that an increase in temperature will make
