In basic solution, (CH3)3CCl reacts according to the equation below.
(CH3)3CCl + OH- ® (CH3)3COH + Cl-
The accepted mechanism for the reaction is
(CH3)3CCl ® (CH3)3C+ + Cl- (slow)
(CH3)3C+ + OH- ® (CH3)3COH (fast)
What is the predicted rate law based on this mechanism?
rate = k[(CH3)3CCl]
rate = k[(CH3)3CCl]2
rate = k[(CH3)3C+][OH-]
rate = k[(CH3)3CCl][OH-]
rate = k[(CH3)3CCl][Cl-][OH-]
