What is the equation for the rate of formation of 1-iodobutane from the reaction of 1-chlorobutane (BuCl) with NaI by an S_N2 mechanism? A) Rate = k [BuCl] B) Rate = k [BuCl][NaI] C) Rate = k [NaI] D) Rate = k [BuCl]²

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In an S_N2 reaction, the rate is determined by the concentration of both the substrate (1-chlorobutane) and the nucleophile (NaI), making it a bimolecular reaction.
