Question

For the following SN1 solvolysis reaction, select the correct rate equation and the overall reaction order (note: CH3OH is the solvent for the reaction). (CH3)3CCl + CH3OH → (CH3)3OCH3 + HCl

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

• rate = K[(CH3)3CCl]

• overall order is also first order

Since we are told that CH3OH is the solvent for the reaction, as such the rate law equation will only be written for (CH3)3CCl .
