Question

Suppose you have a following reaction: How does the reaction rate change (increase, decrease, does not change) if you: a) increase the concentration of sodium iodide twice b) use n-hexane as a solvent instead of acetone c) use 2-bromopropane as electrophile instead of bromoethane d) use two times higher volume of solvent (keeping the amount of both alkyl bromide and sodium iodide the same). In each case use one-two sentences to justify your answers

Step 1

If we increase the concentration of sodium iodide twice, the reaction rate will increase. This is because the reaction rate is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants. So, if the concentration of one reactant is increased, the reaction rate Show more…
