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.

Which will evaporate faster, 1-Butanol or Pentane? Explain your choice.
Using the equation below, what is the rate of this reaction if the rate of disappearance of H2 is 0.44 M/sec? H2 + Br2 → 2HBr
2Fe3+(aq) + Sn2+(aq) □ 2Fe²+(aq) + Sn 4+ (aq) If the change in Sn²+ concentration is 0.0010M in 38.5 seconds, what is the rate of disappearance of Sn²+?
