The following initial rate data are for the reaction of tertiary butyl bromide with hydroxide ion at 55 °C:
(CH3)3CBr + OH- —> (CH3)3COH + Br-
Experiment [(CH3)3CBr]0, M [OH-]0, M Initial Rate, Ms-1
1 0.514 0.960 6.12×10-3
2 0.514 1.92 6.12×10-3
3 1.03 0.960 1.23×10-2
4 1.03 1.92 1.23×10-2
Complete the rate law for this reaction in the box below.
Use the form k[A]m[B]n , where '1' is understood for m or n and concentrations taken to the zero power do not appear. Don't enter 1 for m or n
Rate =
From these data, the rate constant is s-1.
