Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The change that occurs to the rate of an SN2 reaction when [RX] is tripled and [Nu] stays the same 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. The electron rich chemical species that contains negative charge or lone pair of electrons are known as a nucleophile. In a nucleophilic substitution reaction, nucleophile takes the position of leaving group by attacking the electron deficient carbon atom.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The change that occurs to the rate of an SN2 reaction when both [RX] and [Nu] are tripled 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. The electron rich chemical species that contains negative charge or lone pair of electrons are known as a nucleophile. In a nucleophilic substitution reaction, nucleophile takes the position of leaving group by attacking the electron deficient carbon atom.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation: The change that occurs to the rate of an SN2 reaction when [RX] is halved and [Nu] stays the same 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. The electron rich chemical species that contains negative charge or lone pair of electrons are known as a nucleophile. In a nucleophilic substitution reaction, nucleophile takes the position of leaving group by attacking the electron deficient carbon atom.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation: The change that occurs to the rate of an SN2 reaction when [RX] is halved and [Nu] is doubled 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. The electron rich chemical species that contains negative charge or lone pair of electrons are known as a nucleophile. In a nucleophilic substitution reaction, nucleophile takes the position of leaving group by attacking the electron deficient carbon atom.

Br OH", H2O A + Br HO B / SH¯, CH3SH HS' + Br Br Which reaction is predicted to be faster (A or B)? Reactions A and B are of the same type. Classify the reactions shown in A and B as SN1 or Sn2 (write 1 if SN1, write 2 if SN2)?
Match the reaction type with its rate law. Rate = k [RX]¹[Nu]¹ Rate = k [RX]¹[Base]⁰ Rate = k [RX]¹[Base]¹ Rate = k [RX]¹[Nu]⁰ > 1. E1 2. E2 3. SN1 4. SN2
Label each statement as true or false. Correct any false statement to make it true. a. Increasing temperature increases reaction rate. b.If a reaction is fast, it has a large rate constant. c.A fast reaction has a large negative ΔGo value. d.When Ea is large, the rate constant k is also large. e. Fast reactions have equilibrium constants > 1. f.Increasing the concentration of a reactant always increases the rate of a reaction.
