Reaction kinetics — practice question

Many, though not all, organic reactions must be heated before they happen. Which reaction takes place at a suitable rate at $20\,^{\circ}\text{C}$, which is room temperature?

  • A$\text{CH}_3\text{OH} + \text{PCl}_5 \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{Cl} + \text{POCl}_3 + \text{HCl}$
  • B$\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{Br} + \text{KCN} \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CN} + \text{KBr}$
  • C$\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{OH} \rightarrow \text{C}_2\text{H}_4 + \text{H}_2\text{O}$
  • D$\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CN} + 2\text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CO}_2\text{H} + \text{NH}_3$
