Question: The reaction between ethyl bromide ( C 2 H 5 Br ) and hydroxide ion in ethyl alcohol at 3 3 0 K is first

The reaction between ethyl bromide (C2H5Br)
and hydroxide ion in ethyl alcohol at 330 K
is first order each in ethyl bromide and the hydroxide ion:
C2H5Br(alc)+OH(alc)->C2H5OH(l)+Br(alc)
When [C2H5Br]
is 0.0447 M
and [OH]
is 0.100 M
, the rate of disappearance of ethyl bromide is 1.7\times 107
M/s
How would the rate of disappearance of ethyl bromide change if the solution were diluted by adding three equal volumes of pure ethyl alcohol to the solution?
