Explain how the rate of the reaction of 1-bromopropane with sodium ethoxide in DMF changes when:
a. The concentrations of both 1-bromopropane and sodium ethoxide are doubled.
b. Ethanol is used as the solvent instead of DMF.
Explain how the rate of the reaction of 2-bromo-2-methylpentane with methanol changes.
