In an organic chemistry lab we were looking at the substrate and nucleophile effects in Sn2 reactions. Our experimental data showed that 1-bromobutane with 1.0mL of 0.25M NaI in 2-Butanone reacted faster than 1-bromobutane with 1.0mL 0.50M NaI in 2-butanone. Also, our experimental data showed that 1-bromobutane with 1.0mL of 0.50M NaI reacted faster than 1-bromobutane with 2.0mL of 0.05M NaI. These result are the opposite of the theoritcal rate aren't they? From my understanding, the Sn2 reaction rate should...

Question about SN1 and SN2 reactions. In my lab we prepared 1-bromobutane from 1-butanol (SN2) and 2-chloro-2-methylbutane from 2-methyl-2-butanol (SN1). I don't undetstand the following questions: 1. Why did we heat the SN2 reaction but not the SN1 reaction? 2. What was the purpose of performing a simple distillation on both reactions? What were you isolating your products from? 3. What was the purpose of washing both of oyur reaction mixtures with brine (saturated sodium chloride)?
