Which of the following is the rate law for the following S_N2 reaction?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rate law should include the concentrations of the reactants that affect the reaction rate. From the reaction, we can see that both NaCN and 1-bromopropane are involved. Therefore, the rate law should include both of these reactants. Additionally, the reaction is not a first-order reaction with respect to either reactant, so options A and B can be eliminated. Option D is not a valid rate law as it includes an unknown term (²) which is not one of the reactants. Thus, the best choice is C.
