Assuming no other changes,what is the effect of doubling only the concentration of the alkyl halide in the above S_N1 reaction? A)no change B)doubles the rate C)triples the rate D)quadruples the rate E)rate is halved

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the rate law of SN1 reactions, rate = k[alkyl halide]. Thus, doubling the concentration of the alkyl halide will result in a doubling of the reaction rate. Therefore, the correct answer is B, which states that the rate doubles.
