in lab we did experiment to study sn1 reaction of alkyl halides with AgNO3 in ethanol. we predicted that 1-bromobutane would not react by forming a precipitate because primary alkyl halides would not form a primary carbocation intermediate. However, it DID form precipitate. Mechanism-wise, how did AgBr form, other than though a primary carbocation intermediate.

Primary carbocation is formed in this reaction. It is because formation of AgBr occur very easy. But the reaction between R+ and Nu occur very fast after it as result the formation of product is observed.
Numbers and figures are an essential part of our world, necessary for almost everything we do every day. As important…
