Consider the reaction sequence given below : Which of the following statements is true:
Options
- AChanging the base from OH ⊖ to OR ⊖ will have no effect on reaction ( 2 )
- BChanging the concentration of base will have no effect on reaction ( 1 )
- CDoubling the concentration of base will double the rate of both the reactions
- DChanging the concentration of base will have no effect on reaction ( 2 )
Correct answer
B. Changing the concentration of base will have no effect on reaction ( 1 )
Step-by-step solution
First reaction is SN 1 in which rate does not depend on conc. of nucleophile. Second reaction is E 2 reaction in which rate depends on conc. of base.
