In the presence of a strong base, the following reaction between (CH3)3CCl and OH- occurs: (CH3)3CCl + OH- → (CH3)3COH + Cl- Studies have suggested that the mechanism for the reaction takes place in 2 steps: Step 1) (CH3)3CCl → (CH3)3C+ + Cl- (slow) Step 2) (CH3)3C+ + OH- → (CH3)3COH (fast) What is the rate law expression for the overall reaction? Group of answer choices

Answer:

D. rate = k [(CH3)3CCl]

Explanation:

(CH3)3CCl + OH- → (CH3)3COH + Cl-

The mechanisms are;

Step 1)

(CH3)3CCl → (CH3)3C+ + Cl- (slow)

Step 2)

(CH3)3C+ + OH- → (CH3)3COH (fast)

In kinetics, the slowest step is the ratee determining step.

For a given reaction;

A → B + C, the rate law expression is given as;

rate = k [A]

In this problem, from step 1. The rate expression is;

rate = k [(CH3)3CCl]
