Question

For reaction $\mathrm{RX}+\mathrm{OH}^{-} ightarrow \mathrm{ROH}+\mathrm{X}^{-}$, Rate expression is $\mathrm{R}=4.7 	imes 10^{-5}[\mathrm{RX}]\left[\mathrm{OH}^{-}ight]+2.4 	imes 10^{-5}[\mathrm{RX}]$. What $\%$ of reactant react by $S N^2$ mechanism when $\left[\mathrm{OH}^{-}ight]=0.001$ molar -

Fraction of reactant decomposing by $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2$ mechanism $=\frac{4.7 	imes 10^{-5}[\mathrm{RX}]\left[\mathrm{OH}^{-}ight]}{4.7 	imes 10^{-5}[\mathrm{RX}]\left[\mathrm{OH}^{-}ight]+2.4 	imes 10^{-5}[\mathrm{RX}]}$ Put $\left[\mathrm{OH}^{-}ight]=0.001 \mathrm{M}$

For reaction $\mathrm{RX}+\mathrm{OH}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{ROH}+\mathrm{X}^{-}$, Rate expression is…
