Explain each of the following statements.

a.  Hexane is not a common solvent for either SN1 or SN2 reactions.


b.  (CH3)3CO- is a stronger base than CH3CH2O-.


c.  (CH3)3CBr is more reactive than (CH3)2C(CF3)Br in SN1 reactions.


d.  (CH3)3CBr reacts at the same rate with F and H2O in substitution reactions even though F- has a net negative charge.


e.  When optically active (2R)-2-bromobutane is added to a solution of NaBr in acetone, the solution gradually loses optical activity until it becomes optically inactive.
