Consider the pair of reactions: HâO + 2-Bromoethane. Draw the organic products, then predict the type of substitution mechanism and compare the expected rates.
a) SNâ mechanism, with water as the nucleophile, and SNâ reaction will be faster.
b) SNâ mechanism, with water as the nucleophile, and SNâ reaction will be faster.
c) SNâ mechanism, with bromoethane as the nucleophile, and SNâ reaction will be faster.
d) SNâ mechanism, with bromoethane as the nucleophile, and SNâ reaction will be faster.
