The rate equation for a nucleophilic substitution reaction of a tert alkyl bromide (R-Br) with I- ion would be: Rate = k [RBr][I-]2 Rate = k [RBr]2[I-] Rate = k [RBr] Rate = k [RBr][I-] Rate = k [I-]

Consider the base hydrolysis of an ester. RCOOR' + OH⁻ → RCOO⁻ + R'OH (where R and R' represent organic groups). The kinetics of this reaction, for a particular ester, were studied using the isolation method. The overall rate law can be posed as: -d[RCOOR'] / dt = k[RCOOR']^n [OH⁻]^m What is the overall rate constant, k, for the reaction? (include appropriate units) k = ?

The rate constant $(k)$ for a reaction is measured as a function of tem- perature. A plot of ln $k$ versus 1$/ T($ in $\mathrm{K})$ is linear and has a slope of $-7445 \mathrm{K}$ . Calculate the activation energy for the reaction.
