Question: Tertiary butyl chloride reacts in basic solution according to theequation (CH 3 ) 3 CCL+OH - -->(CH 3 ) 3 COH+Cl - The accepted mechanism

Tertiary butyl chloride reacts in basic solution according to theequation
(CH3)3CCL+OH--->(CH3)3COH+Cl-

The accepted mechanism for this reaction is as follows
(CH3)3CCl-->(CH3)3C++Cl-(slow)
(CH3)3C++OH--->(CH3)3COH(fast)

What should the rate law be for a reaction with this mechanism?
