statements. More than one symbol could be true for any given statement (list all that apply).
a. 3o halides react with NaOCH3 in CH3OH mainly by this/these mechanism(s).
b. Increasing the concentration of the alkyl halide will increase the rate of these reactions.
c. Protic solvents increase the rate of these reactions.
d. These mechanisms have only one transition state.
e. 2o halides react with H2O mainly by this/these mechanism(s).
