Question:

Consider the following equilibrium:(CH3)2S: + HC-Br: (CH3)2S-CH3 + Br

In each case (a) and (b), choose the solvent in which the equilibrium would lie farther to the right. Explain. (Assume that the products are soluble in all solvents considered.)

(a) Ethanol or diethyl ether 

(b) N,N-dimethylacetamide (a polar, aprotic solvent, ϵ = 38) or a mixture of water and methanol that has the same dielectric constant
