Question 25 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-]

          Question 25
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-]

Step 1

In this case, the substrate is a tert alkyl bromide (R-Br) and the nucleophile is the I- ion. The rate equation for this reaction would depend on the concentration of both the substrate (R-Br) and the nucleophile (I-). Since the I- ion is involved in the Show more…
