The rate expression for the reaction, `(CH_(3))C-Cl+OH^(-)to(CH_(3))_(3)C-OH+Cl^(-)`
is Rate `=k[(CH_(3))_(3)C-Cl]`. Propose the mechanism for the reaction.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The rate of reaction depends on the slowest step. Hence, we shall have
Step 1 : `(CH_(3))_(3)C-Cloverset("slow")to(CH_(3))_(3)C^(+)+Cl^(-)" "," ""Step 2 : "(CH_(3))_(3)C^(+)+OH^(-)overset("fast")to(CH_(3))_(3)C-OH`
