Statement | True/False + Explanation |
A solvent that has a broad absorption at 3300 cm-1 in the IR spectrum is a good solvent for an SN2 reaction. | |
An SN1 reaction on 2-chloro-2-methylpropane will proceed much faster with iodide as the nucleophile as compared to water. | |
In an SN2 reaction, the nucleophile attacks the electrophile in the rate determining step. | |
Reaction of (R)-3-iodo-3-methylheptane with water yields an optically active product. | |
Sodium methoxide is a better nucleophile than methanol for an SN2 reaction. | |
A good substrate for an SN1 reaction is 1-chloropentane. | |
Hydroxide is a good leaving group for an SN2 reaction. | |
Tertiary carbons cannot undergo SN1 reactions because there is no room for a nucleophillic backside attack. | |
In an SN1 reaction, the rate is dependent upon the concentration of the electrophile. | |
The iodide anion is a better leaving group than the chloride anion. | |
2-Bromobutane can only undergo an SN1 reaction. | |
The intermediate produced in an SN2 reaction is a carbocation. | |
An SN1 reaction can also be referred to as a solvolysis reaction. | |
The energy diagram of an SN1 reaction has more than one activation energy barrier. | |
Reaction of (R)-1-bromo-1-deuteroethane with sodium hydroxide yields (S)-1-deutero-1-hydroxyethane. | |
When writing a mechanism for either an SN2 or an SN1 reaction, two-headed arrows are used. | |
