Answer #1

a) substrate is PRIMARY alkyl halide and the nucleophile is N3- which is a STRONG nucelophile. Thus the reaction would be SN2 .

b) The alkyl halide is secondary and OH- is a strong base. so elimination by E1 is more probable giving the Zaitsev product.

c) The alkyl halide is TERTIARY and the solvent it self is the nucleophile (weak) , thus the reaction is SN1(solvolysis)
