3A. Below are GC results from the two reactions described in the experiment. In each reaction, an alcohol
(n-butanol or t-butanol) is reacted with a 1:1 molar ratio of chloride and bromide and the ratio of products
is analyzed to determine the rate law and reaction mechanism by which the reaction proceeds. Use the
GC results below to determine what mechanism reaction 1 and reaction 2 proceed by and write a brief
analysis of why you came to this conclusion. What alcohol is the starting material for each reaction? What
is the rate law for each reaction? (It is important that you look up the boiling points of the four products
of these two reactions to determine which is the chloro, and which is the bromo product in each GC
chromatogram. Assume that the peaks are eluted from the GC in order of boiling point.)
