A secondary alkyl halide (RX) is hydrolysed by alkali simultaneously by `S_(N)1 and S_(N)2` pathways. A plot of
`-(1)/([RX]) (d[RX])/(dt)" vs "[OH^(-)]` is a straight line with slope equal to `1.0xx10^(-3)" mol"^(-1)" L min"^(-1)` and intercept equal to `2.0xx10^(-3)" min"^(-1)`. Calculate initial rate of consumption of RX when [RX] `=0.5 M and [OH^(-)]=1.0 M`.
