In alkaline hydrolysis of a tertiary alkyl halide by aqueous alkali, if concentration of alkali is doubled , then the reaction rate at constant temperature
Options
(a) will be doubled
(b) will remain constant
(c) will be halved
(d) will be tripled
Correct Answer:
will remain constant
Explanation:
Tertiary alkyl halides undergo S(N)1 mechanism. Here the rate depends only on the concentration of the substrate..
