Which is more reactive

Hi, this is my first post in this forum.
Basically we did an experiment on nucleophilic substitutions where we studied reactions of alkyl halides with NaI and AgNO
3
Hmm, I just want to know which nucleophile, I
-
or NO
3
-
is more reactive. Please let me know. Thank you in advance

you should compare HI and HNO3.That you know I- or NO3- which is active

In my point of view, firstly, i should know which factors decide the action of nucleophil substitution. Then put I- and No3- in comparison of these factors, this will help you define the more active one. Good luck to you!

You might also want to think about what role the cations are playing- it can be significant. Can you write out balanced reactions (equations) that show what happens to all components in the reactions? For alkyl chlorides, RCl, the reactions would be
RCl + AgNO
3
= ? + ?
or
RCl + NaI = ? + ?
