    Q:

    		 In the following reaction, the fastest reaction rate occurs in pure water, as opposed to occurring in a solvent like ethanol. Which of the following best describes why this scenario takes place?



    		 

    A

    		 The aromatic rings in both reactants are hydrophobic and will be in close proximity to each other, which increases the chance of a reaction taking place

    B

    		 The aromatic rings in both reactants are hydrophobic and will be in close proximity to each other, which decreases the chance of a reaction taking place

    C

    		 The aromatic rings in both reactants are hydrophilic and will be in close proximity to each other, which increases the chance of a reaction taking place

    D

    		 The aromatic rings in both reactants are hydrophilic and will be in close proximity to each other, which decreases the chance of a reaction taking place
