Problem- Secondary alkyl halides can undergo substitution by either SN1 or SN2 mechanism. The reaction conditions determine which pathway is followed explain each of the following-

SN1 is favored when the concntratin of nucleophile is low.

SN2 is favored when there is a strong nucleophile

SN1 is favored when there is a weak nucleophile (H20, ROH)

SN2 is favored in a polar aprotic solvent

SN1 is favored in a polar protic solvent

Show all work, use additional paper if necessary.
