In alkaline hydrolysis of a tertiary halide by aqueous solution of alkali if concentration of alkali is doubled, then the reaction (AIIMS 2012)

A.will be doubled

B.will be halved

C.will remain constant✓ Correct

D.None of these

Explanation

In alkaline hydrolysis of a tertiary halide by aqueous alkali, if concentration of alkali is doubled, then the reaction will remain constant because t-alkyl halides with aqueous alkali give SN1 reaction and rate of SN1 reaction is not based upon concentration of nucleophile, (i.e. alkali).
