Consider the reaction of 2-chloro-2-methylpentane with sodium iodide. Assuming no other changes,how would it affect the rate if one simultaneously doubled the concentration of 2-chloro-2-methylpentane and sodium iodide?

Question

Consider the reaction of 2-chloro-2-methylpentane with sodium iodide.  Assuming no other changes,how would it affect the rate if one simultaneously doubled the concentration of 2-chloro-2-methylpentane and sodium iodide?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rate of reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants. Doubling the concentration of both 2-chloro-2-methylpentane and sodium iodide would result in the rate doubling as well. Thus, the answer is B.
