Answer #1

If it's SN2 reaction, with Ethyl iodide it will be faster and with trans-1-chloro-4-methylcyclohexane will be slow compared trans 1-iodo-4thylcyclohexane.

Ethyl iodide is primary carbon to be attacked than the secondary carbon in trans1-iodo-4methyl cyclohexane therefore more reactive and with carbon chlorine bond will be difficult to break compared to carbon iodine which account for it's lower reactivity of trans1-chloro-4-methyl cyclohexane.
