Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Acetate ion will be a better nucleophile in dimethyl sulfoxide or methanol in an SN2 reaction is to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

The SN2/E2 reaction of alkyl halide is with neutral nucleophile/base, the increasing polarity of the solvent will increase the rate of the reaction is to be identified.

An SN2 reaction of an alkyl halide is favoured by a high concentration of a good (negatively charged) nucleophile in an aprotic polar solvent.
