At 30°C, the second-order rate constant for the reaction of methyl chloride and HO- is 1.0 × 10-5 M-1s-1.
a. What is the rate of the reaction when [CH3Cl] = 0.10 M and [HO-] = 0.10 M?
b. If the concentration of methyl chloride is decreased to 0.01 M, what effect will this have on the rate of the reaction?
c. If the concentration of methyl chloride is decreased to 0.01 M, what effect will this have on the rate constant of the reaction?
