Organic reactions can often be classified into two broad categories: substitution and elimination. Substitution reactions substitute one substituent for another. Elimination reactions typically form after the wholesale removal of a substituent, with no replacement. Below are examples of two types of reactions.
Reaction 1:
Reaction 2:
A scientist is studying the rate of reaction 1. He wants to double the rate of the reaction, but is unsure how to increase concentrations of the reactants. Which of the following is true?
Ephedrine (shown below) contains what type of amine?

Reaction 1:
Reaction 2:
Investigating reaction 2, you find that the reaction is initiated when a carbocation forms. Which of the following is likely true?
I. Concentration of the halide is the main determinant of reaction rate
II. The carbocation forms when the hydroxide removes the chlorine atom
III. The carbocation is planar
