Question

1. Write an SN1 mechanism with curved arrows for the general reaction: 2. A) What is the formula of the precipitate that indicates a reaction has taken place? b) How does it cause the reaction to go to completion? 3. Based on your Data in Part B, tell which substrate in each pair is more reactive by an SN1 mechanism and explain why: a) 2-chlorobutane and 2-chlorobutane b) 2-chlorobutane and 1-brentobutane c) 1-chlorobutane and 1-bromobutane d) 2-bromobutane and 1-bromobutane e) 2-chloro-2-methylpropane and 2-chlorobutane 5. How would the reaction rates have been affected if you had used alkyl iodides instead of chlorides and bromides? Explain.
