The first one is water and the second one is ethanol. But I don't get why.

OCR I think it's 2008 and it was on a mock paper I did at school.
Did the new specification not start 2009? I don't think that is in the course anymore.

There is likely a reason why however if you're worried, just remember that one is a substitution and the other is an elimination. The outcome just depends on what the solvent is.

True but why would it be put in the mock then?

Water encourages substitution and ethanol encourages elimination.

It's probably part of old spec and we dont need to know it. It might have been included in your mock for practice.

True, i still don't know how the reaction of bromine with cyclopropane gave 1,3-dibromopropane, do know that?

Thanks :smile:.
Sorry, how can the single bond be broken? I thought alkanes don't go under addition reactions?
