Q.

The rate law for the substitution reaction of 2-bromobutane and  OH in 75% ethanol – 25% water at 30°C is
Rate =3.2×105[2bromobutane][OH]+2×106[2bromobutane] . 
Then what is the percentage of the reaction taking place by the SN2 mechanism when [OH] =1.0M

Rate=[2-bromobutane] (3.2×105+2×106)=34×106[2bromobutane]
 % of SN2 reaction =3.2×105[2bromobutane]34×106[2bromobutane]×100=94.117
