consider the pair of reactions. draw the organic products, then predict the type of substitution mechanism and compare the expected rates. both reactions start with propyl chloride reacting with a halide ion in water to form a product. reaction 1 has a bromide ion, while reaction 2 has an iodide ion. draw product 1. draw product 2. identify the mechanism of each reaction. reaction 2 occurs by an sn1 mechanism. reaction 2 occurs by an sn2 mechanism. reaction 1 occurs by an sn2 mechanism. reaction 1 occurs by an sn1 mechanism. compare the rates of each reaction. both reactions occur at the same rate. reaction 1 is faster than reaction 2. reaction 2 is faster than reaction 1.
