What is the effect of doubling the concentration of alkyl halide on the rate of reaction for the given reaction?
\(CH_3Br + OH^-\rightarrow CH_3OH + Br^-\)

  1. A Double the rate
  2. B Quadruplate the rate
  3. C Half the rate
  4. D No Change
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Double the rate

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For an \(S_N2\) reaction, Rate \( \propto [CH_3Br]\). If \([CH_3Br]\) is doubled, Rate' \( = 2 \times \) Rate.
