NEET Chemistry (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 12
Given that the rate of substitution nucleophilic bimolecular (SN2) reaction depends on the concentration of both reactants, if the concentration of CH3Cl is doubled while maintaining the hydroxide ion concentration constant, how will the rate of the reaction change?
A
The rate will double.
B
The rate will quadruple.
C
The rate will remain unchanged.
D
The rate will triple.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The rate of an SN2 reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of both reactants. Doubling the concentration of CH3Cl while keeping hydroxide constant doubles the rate.
