Consider the basic hydrolysis (reaction with aqueous base) of (CH3) 3 CBr. The rate law is first

Question:

Consider the basic hydrolysis (reaction with aqueous base) of (CH3)3CBr.

(CH3)3CBr(aq) +OH(aq)  (CH3)3COH(aq) +Br (aq)

The rate law is first order with respect to (CH3)3CBr and zero order with respect to OH. What does this imply about the mechanism of this reaction?
