In SN1 reactions, the correct order of reactivity for the following compounds:
CH3Cl, CH3CH2Cl, (CH3)2CHCl and (CH3)3CCl is ______.
The following questions are case-based questions. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:

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). |
Answer the following questions:
(a) Why racemisation occurs in SN1? (1)
(b) Why is ethanol less polar than water? (1)
(c) Which one of, the following in each pair is more reactive towards SN2 reaction? (2)
(i) CH3 – CH2 – I or CH3CH2 – Cl
(ii)

OR
(c) Arrange the following in the increasing order of their reactivity towards SN1 reactions: (2)
(i) 2-Bromo-2-methylbutane, 1-Bromo-pentane, 2-Bromo-pentane
(ii) 1-Bromo-3-methylbutane, 2-Bromo-2-methylbutane, 2-Bromo-3- methylbutane
