Question

Which term describes this reaction? CH3Br(aq) + OH-(aq) -> CH3OH(aq) + Br-(aq)
a. addition
b. condensation
c. elimination
d. substitution

Answer 1

substitution becuase your substituting br (aq) with OH

Answer 2

Answer: d. substitution

Explanation: $CH_3Br(aq)+OH^-(aq)\rightarrow CH_3OH(aq)+Br^-(aq)$

This is an example of nucleophilic substitution as one nucleophile replaces or substitutes another nucleophile.

Addition reaction involves addition of reactants.

Condensation is a reaction in which reactants add together to give a product along with the release of a small byproduct.

Elimination is a reaction in which a small molecule gets eliminated from a reactant.
