Substitution reaction monitors second-order kinetics; that is, the degree of the reaction hinge on on the concentration of two first-order reactants. In the circumstance of bimolecular nucleophilic substitution, these two reactants are the nucleophile and the haloalkane. So for this problem, the answer is ch3br.
