The rate would decrease because the bromide ion is a weaker


Given the following subsitution reaction, what effect would be observed when changing the leaving group from the bromide ion to the iodide ion? Please explain why CH3(CH2)5Br + NaOH as it goes to CH3(CH2)5OH + Br- A) The rate would increase because the iodide ion is a weaker base than the bromide ion. B) The rate would decrease because the bromide ion is a weaker base than the iodide ion. C) The potential change cannot be predicted.
