Can someone help me write a balanced reaction equation for the reaction of 2-bromobutane with NaI/acetone?
Is Sn1(substitution, unimolecular) or Sn2(substitution, bimolecular) mechanism used for this reaction??

Which will react faster?
Should 2-chlorobutane or 2-bromobutane react faster in an Sn1 reaction (substitution, nucleophilic, unimolecular in the rate determining step)? Explain your reasoning please.
