Question

Increasing the concentration of a nucleophile in a typical SN2 reaction by a factor of 10 will cause the reaction rate to: (A) Increase by a factor of 10 (B) Increase by a factor of 102 (C) Decrease by a factor of 10 (D) Remain about the same

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Rate (SN2) = K[substrate]1 [Nucleophile]1

Q. Increasing the concentration of a nucleophile in a typical $S N_{2}$ reaction by a factor of 10 will cause the reaction rate to:

Increase by a factor of 10

Increase by a factor of $1 0^{2}$

Decrease by a factor of 10

Remain about the same

Rate $(S_{N} 2) =$ K[substrate] $^{1}$ [Nucleophile] $^{1}$
