Question

What statement best describes the following reaction?

(a) this is an SN1 reaction; doubling the concentration of sodium methoxide will double the rate

(b) this is an SN2 reaction; the ?* antibonding orbital of the C–I bond is attacked by methoxide

(c) this is an E2 reaction; doubling the concentration of sodium methoxide will double the rate

(d) this is an SN1 reaction; an unhybridized p orbital is attacked by methoxide

(e) none of the above statements are correct

What statement best describes the following reaction? DMSO CH3heat H3C00% + Nal (a) this is an Sw1 reaction; doubling the concentration of sodium methoxide will double the rate (b) this is an SN2 reaction; the * antibonding orbital of the C-1 bond is attacked by methoxide (c) this is an E2 reaction; doubling the concentration of sodium methoxide will double the rate (d) this is an Sw1 reaction; an unhybridized p orbital is attacked by methoxide (e) none of the above statements are correct

Explanation / Answer

b. as well by the statement but also because it uses DMSO which is a solvent used for SN2 RXN because they are polar aprotic solvents. Because we have strong nucleophiles due to the charges.
