Rate data for the reaction CH 3 Br + OH CH 3 OH + Br

Question:

Rate data for the reaction CH3Br + OH → CH3OH + Br:

Initial Experiment [CHBr] 1 0.200 M 2 0.400 M 3 0.400 M Initial [OH-] 0.200 M 0.200 M 0.400 M Rate of CH3OH

Use these data to find the experimental rate law. In other words, determine the values of x and y in the rate equation:

Rate = k[CH3Br][OH-]'

Then decide whether mechanism I or mechanism II can possibly be the correct mechanism for the reaction. You should have found that mechanism I is wrong and that only mechanism II is a possibility.
