Which statements are true for SN2 reactions of haloalkanes? (a)
Both the haloalkane and the nucleophile are involved in the
transition state. (b) The reaction proceeds with inversion of
configuration at the substitution center. (c) The reaction proceeds
with retention of optical activity. (d) The order of reactivity is
3° > 2° > 1° > methyl. (e) The nucleophile must have an
unshared pair of electrons and bear a negative charge. (f) The
greater the nucleophilicity of the nucleophile, the...
What is the lifetime of OH at the sea level, assuming that the
following reactions are the principal sinks for OH in the
troposphere. Answer in sec to two significant digits.
OH + CO → CO2 + H (1)
OH + CH4 → CH3 + H2O (2)
The density of air at the sea level is 2.69 ×1019
molecules cm-3, the mixing ratios of CO and
CH4 are 80 ppbv and 1700 ppbv, respectively, and the
reaction rate is kCO=...

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)?
