(c) NaI

Short Answer

Answer

CH3CH2CH2Br+Nal→CH3CH2CH2l+NaBrSubstitutionreaction

Step by step solution

01

SN2 reaction

It is a nucleophilic substitution reaction in which an old bond is broken, and a new bond is formed. Both processes co-occur. Hence, it’s a single-step reaction.

Two reacting species are involved in the rate-determining steps.

02

Reaction of CH3CH2CH2Br+Nal

It is a substitution reaction in which C-Br is broken, and the C-I bond is formed in a single-step process, which means the iodide ion substitutes for the bromide ion. Hence, a substitution reaction and bromide and iodide are nucleophiles’ so-called nucleophilic substitution reactions.
