Chapter 9: Q75P (page 451)
The pKa of acetic acid in water is 4.76. What effect will a decrease in the polarity of the solvent have on the pKa? Why?
The pKa would increase (it would be a better acid) because of a decreased tendency to form a charge species in a less polar solvent.

Which member in each pair in Problem 68 is a better leaving group?
For each of the following reactions, (1) decide whether an E2 or an E1 occurs, and (2) draw the major elimination product:
tert-Butyl chloride undergoes solvolysis in both acetic acid and formic acid. Solvolysis occurs 5000 times faster in one of these two solvents than in
the other. In which solvent is solvolysis faster? Explain your answer. (Hint: Formic acid is more polar than acetic acid.)
Which alkyl halide is more reactive in an SN2 reaction with a given nucleophile?
Two bromoethers are obtained from the reaction of the following alkyl dihalide with methanol. Draw the structures of the ethers.
