The rate of reaction of t -butyl bromide and . NaOH in water depends on the concentration of
Options
- Aboth t -butyl bromide and NaOH
- BNaOH
- Cindependent of concentration
- Dt -butyl bromide
Correct answer
D. t -butyl bromide
Step-by-step solution
Hydrolysis of t -butyl bromide with aqueous NaOH is an example of S _ N 1 reaction. The formation of carbocation is the slow step and therefore rate determining step. The rate of the reaction depends only on concentration of tertiary butyl bromide. . Step I. Formation of carbocation Attack of nucleophile on carbocation
