At $30\,^\circ C$,the rate of reaction between $2$-bromobutane and $OH^-$ in $75\%$ ethanol and $25\%$ water is given by: $\text{Rate} = 3.20 \times 10^{-5} [2\text{-bromobutane}][OH^-] + 1.5 \times 10^{-6} [2\text{-bromobutane}]$. If $[OH^-] = 1.0\,M$,what percentage of the reaction proceeds via the $S_N2$ mechanism?

  • A
    $96$
  • B
    $94$
  • C
    $92$
  • D
    $93$
