Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 12

In an SN1 reaction involving tert-butyl bromide and hydroxide ion in a polar protic solvent, what is the expected rate expression for the reaction?

A

Rate = k [tert-butyl bromide]

B

Rate = k [tert-butyl bromide][OH-]

C

Rate = k [OH-]

D

Rate = k [tert-butyl bromide]^2

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The SN1 reaction follows first-order kinetics, where the rate depends only on the concentration of the tert-butyl bromide, as described in the NCERT context.
