Which of the following correctly describes the relative nucleophilicities of methoxide and tert-butoxide?()
A. These alkoxides have essentially the same nucleophilicities since the negative charge in both is localized on an oxygen atom.
B. Methoxide is more nucleophilic because the nucleophilicity of tert-butoxide is diminished by steric effects.
C. tert-Butoxide is more nucleophilic because it contains three methyl groups which increase the charge on its oxygen by donating electron density.
D. tert-Butoxide is more nucleophilic because it is more basic.
E. none of the above
Which of the following is the rate law for SN1 mechanisms?()
A. Rate = k[Alkyl Halide] [Nucleophile]
B. Rate = k[Nucleophile]
C. Rate = k[Alkyl Halide]
D. Rate = k[Alkyl Halide] [Nucleophile] + k2[Alkyl Halide]
E. Rate = k1[Alkyl Halide] + k2[Nucleophile]
