ch3br +nu- →ch3-nu +br- . The decreasing order of rate of above reaction with nucleophile nu- isA)pho_B) ACO-c)Ho-D) ch3o-

Answer»

The decreasing order of rate of above reaction with nucleophile nu- is

CH3O > HO > PhO > AcO 

Explanation:

If the nucleophilic atom or the centre is same, more basic the species stronger is the nucleophile. 

Here, the nucleophilic atom i.e. O is the same in all these species. This order can be easily explained on the general concept that a weaker acid has a stronger conjugate base.
