Question

In the tests with sodium iodide in acetone and silver nitrate in ethanol, why should 2-bromobutane react faster than 2-chlorobutane?
I think the answer to this question might be because bromide ions are better leaving groups than chloride ions. Someone please help clarify for me! Thanks in advance.
