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

A

Will be doubled

B

Will be halved

C

Will remain constant

D

Can’t say

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Tertiary alkyl halide undergoes `S_N^1` mechanism.
Rate = k[RX]
Rate of reaction only depends upon the substrate in `S_N^1` reaction. Hence, rate remain constant at constant temperature.
