Consider the SN2 reaction: A + B-C -> A-B + C
If the concentrations of both reactants, A and B-C are tripled, the rate of the reaction will
Why do polar solvents accelerate the SN1 haloalkane reaction?
Because polar solvents stabilize the nucleophile.
Because polar solvents stabilize the transition state.
Because polar solvents stabilize the haloalkane.
Because polar solvents are attracted to the leaving group more than non-polar solvents.
It is not true that polar solvents accelerate SN1 reaction, actually the rate decreases.

Select the best base to quantitatively remove a proton from acetylene.

Which of the following gives only one organic product on ozonolysis?
A. 2-heptyne B. 3-heptyne C. 2-hexyne D. 3-hexyne
Which species below is the intermediate in the free radical addition of HBr to 1-butene?
In the Friedel-Crafts alkylation of benzene, dialkylation is often a significant by-product. In Friedel-Crafts acylation of benzene, diacylation is not a significant by-product. Which of the following is the primary reason for this difference?
Alkyl groups activate the ring to further substitution, acyl groups deactivate it.
Alkyl groups are less sterically hindered than acyl groups.
Acyl cations are more difficult to make with Lewis acids.
Unlike acyl cations, carbocations can undergo rearrangements.
Acyl carbocations are much more stable than alkyl carbocations.
Which of the following is a conjugated diene?
A. 1,2-heptadiene B. 2,4-heptadiene C. 1,4-heptadiene D. 1,6-heptadiene
