Which one of the following is not true for the hydrolysis of t-butyl bromide with aqueous NaOH? (KCET 2011)
A.Reaction occurs through the SN1
B.The intermediate formed is a carbocation
C.Rate of the reaction double when the concentration of✓ Correct
D.Rate of the reaction double when the concentration
Explanation
Statement (c) is not true because hydrolysis of t-butyl bromide takes place through SN1 mechanism, i.e. rate depends only upon the concentration of alkyl halide.
