In alkaline hydrolysis of a tertiary halide by aqueous alkali, if concentration of alkali is doubled, then the reaction rate

A

will be boubled

B

will be halved

C

will remain constant

D

Cannot say anything

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Reaction of t-alkyl halides with aquious alkali gives `S_(N)1` reaction is not beaed on the concentration of nucleophile (alkali). Hence, reaction rate remains constant.
