question 8

Multiple Choice

For the reaction represented below, the experimental rate law is given by rate = k [(CH₃) ₃CCl].

[NaOH] = 0.10 M, which of the following would be true? (Assume the temperature and volume remain constant.)

• A)Both the reaction rate and k would increase.
• B)Both the reaction rate and k would decrease.
• C)Both the reaction rate and k would remain the same.
• D)The reaction rate would increase but k would remain the same.
• E)The reaction rate would decrease but k would remain the same.
