Consider the pair of reactions: H₂O + 2-Bromoethane. Draw the organic products, then predict the type of substitution mechanism and compare the expected rates.
a) SN1 mechanism, with water as the nucleophile, and SN1 reaction will be faster.
b) SN2 mechanism, with water as the nucleophile, and SN2 reaction will be faster.
c) SN1 mechanism, with bromoethane as the nucleophile, and SN1 reaction will be faster.
d) SN2 mechanism, with bromoethane as the nucleophile, and SN2 reaction will be faster.
