The rate law for the reaction R C l + N a O H ( a q ) → R O H + N a C l is given by Rate = k [ R C l ] . The rate of the reaction will be
Options
- ADecreased on increasing the temperature of the reaction
- BHalved on reducing the concentration of alkyl halide to one half
- CDoubled on doubling the concentration of sodium hydroxide
- DUnaffected by increasing the temperature of the reaction
Correct answer
B. Halved on reducing the concentration of alkyl halide to one half
Step-by-step solution
The given rate law suggest that rate of raction depends on concentration of [ R C l ] and independent of [ O H - ] Rate = k [ R C l ] , if [ R C l ] = 1 / 2 , then rate = intial rate / 2 .
