question
The rates of SN2 reactions generally are vastly increased when they are carried out in polar aprotic solvents. The increase in rate can be as large as a millionfold.
answer
true

question
Use of a polar protic solvent will greatly increase the rate of carbocation formation of an alkyl halide in any SN1 reaction because of its ability to solvate cations and anions so effectively.

question
Water is the most effective solvent for promoting ionization, but most organic compounds do not dissolve appreciably in water. They usually dissolve, however, in alcohols, and quite often mixed solvents are used. Methanol-water and ethanol-water are common mixed solvents for nucleophilic substitution reactions.
