Cl- is a weak base(as it is a conjugate of strong acid),then how is it performing an SN2?

In reply to Jude Korshie. Hi - the first column shows a reaction with a primary alkyl halide, the second column shows a reaction with a secondary alkyl halide. Sorry if this appears confusing!

It seems to me as though the products formed after the reaction has more carbons than the initial..
Like first one for example, after OH attached to the second carbon it became a butanol but initial it was a propanol
Can you explain that for me please

You explanation is immaculate, logical and orderly. It meets my need in organic chemistry. Thanks. Do you have a youtube channel?

I really liked your page,especially in finding priority order of functional groups.These are well mentioned with their use.
