उत्तर
Assertion is wrong but reason is correct statement.
Explanation:
\[\ce{\underset{Alkyl cyanide}{R - Cl + KCN –> R - CN + KCl}}\]

Nucleophilic Substitution: Influences of solvent polarity: The reaction rate (SN2) of 2-bromopropane and NaOH in ethanol containing 40% water is twice slower than in absolute ethanol. Hence the level of solvent polarity has an influence on both SN1 and SN2 reactions but with different results. Generally speaking, a weak polar solvent is favourable for SN2 reaction, while a strong polar solvent is favourable for SN1. Generally speaking, the substitution reaction of tertiary haloalkane is based on SN1 mechanism in solvents with a strong polarity (for example ethanol containing water). |
