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).
