Question
Consider the hydrolysis of t-butyliodide,(CH3)3I + H2O → (CH3)3COH + HIThe equation governing the rate of this reaction israte = k[(CH3)3I]What will happen to the initial rate if the concentration of (CH3)3I is doubled?Group of answer choicesit will be quadrupledit will be doubledit will remain unchanged
Solution
The rate of the reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of t-butyliodide, (CH3)3I. This is indicated by the rate equation: rate = k[(CH3)3I].
So, if the concentration of (CH3)3I is doubled, the rate of the reaction will also double. Therefore, the correct answer is "it will be doubled".
