Question

Given below are two statements: Statement – I: High concentration of strong nucleophilic reagent with secondary alkyl halides which do not have bulky substituents will follow SN2 mechanism. Statement – II: A secondary alkyl halide when treated with a large excess of ethanol follows SN1 mechanism. In the the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate from the questions given below: (1) Statement I is true but Statement II is false. (3) Statement I is false but Statement II is true. (3) Both statement I and Statement II are false. (4) Both statement I and Statement II are true.

Correct answer: .. Statement – I: Rate of SN2  [R–X][Nu –] SN2 reaction is favoured by high concentration of nucleophile (Nu –) & less crowding in the substrate molecule. Statement – II: Solvolysis follows SN1 path. Both are correct Statements.
