Hydrolysis of Tertiary Butyl bromide is a _____.
- A
First order reaction
- B
Zero Order Reaction
- C
Pseudo Second Order
- D
Pseudo First Order
While the fundamental mechanism is SN1, the hydrolysis of tertiary butyl bromide behaves like a pseudo-first-order reaction when performed in a large excess of water.
While the fundamental mechanism is SN1, the hydrolysis of tertiary butyl bromide behaves like a pseudo-first-order reaction when performed in a large excess of water.
Hydrolysis of tertiary butyl bromide is a SN1 reaction and so the rate determining step contains only one species. On the other hand, other hydrolysis reaction when water is used in excess they are pseudo first order but tertiary butyl one does not have water in rate determining step so excess or not OH ion concentration does not effect rate answer is A.
