b. Br− and Cl−
Which formation of the carbocation is expected to be faster?
Choose the better leaving group between F- and Cl- in a polar aprotic solvent.
Choose the constituent of each pair that is the better leaving group.
i. CH3O- or CH3OH
ii. CH3NH2 or CH3OH
Select the constituent of each pair that is the better leaving group.

For the reaction of 1-bromo-3,3-dimethylbutane with methanol, its rate increases with the addition of silver nitrate into the mixture. Explain this observation.
Determine the reaction that would occur faster in the following pair of reactions.a. I. CH3CH2Cl + HO- → CH3CH2OH + Cl- II. CH3CH2Cl + H2O → CH3CH2OH + HClb. I. CH3CH2Br + HO- → CH3CH2OH + Br- II. CH3CH2I + HO- → CH3CH2OH + I-c. I. CH3CH2CH2Cl + NH3 → CH3CH2CH2NH2 + HCl II. CH3CH2CH2Cl + H2O → CH3CH2CH2OH + HCl
For the following substitution reactions, determine which would react faster.
