Organic chemistry question

Part A : NaI in Acetone

  1.  NaI/ acetone is a classic Sn2 reaction- So why does 2-chloro-2-methypropane react here?

  2. Apparently Iodoethane doesn’t react here. What might be going on?

    1. In the SN1 mechanism, the second step is attack of the nucleophile, so increasing the nucleophile concentration should speed up this step. Why, then, do we say that the rate of an SN1 reaction does not depend on the concentration of the nucleophile? 2. If one wants to select a substrate that will react in both SN1 and SN2 reactions, what substrate structure characteristics are desirable? 3. Iodide is a good nucleophile and also a good leaving group. Yet...
