NEET Chemistry SN1 & SN2 Reactions MCQ Question
Which of the following statements correctly describes the rate of an SN1 reaction involving tert-butyl bromide in a polar protic solvent?
Depends only on the concentration of tert-butyl bromide.
Depends on the concentration of both tert-butyl bromide and the nucleophile.
Is independent of the concentration of tert-butyl bromide.
Depends only on the concentration of the nucleophile.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
SN1 reactions follow first-order kinetics where the rate depends solely on the concentration of the substrate, tert-butyl bromide, as the formation of the carbocation is the rate-determining step.
