Question

Consider the following hydrolysis reaction: cis-[PtClL(P(CH2CH3)3)2]+ + H2O ? cis-[Pt(OH2)L(P(CH2CH3)3)2]2+ + Cl- Consider the rate constant of the hydrolysis reaction when L is changed from pyridine, to 2-methylpyridine to 2,6-dimethylpyridine. Select the correct statement from those listed below: A The rate constant when L = 2,6-dimethylpyridine would have a higher value than the rate constant for the reaction when L = pyridine. B The rate constant when L = 2,6-dimethylpyridine would have a smaller value than the rate constant for the reaction when L = pyridine. C The rate constants would be the similar. D The electron donating effects of the methyl groups promotes the reaction so that when L = 2,6-dimethylpyridine the reaction is faster than when L = 2-methylpyridine or pyridine.
