Q. In alkaline hydrolysis of a tertiary alkyl halide by aqueous alkali, if concentration of alkali is doubled, then the reaction rate at constant temperature

Haloalkanes and Haloarenes

Solution:

Tertiary alkyl halides undergo $S_N1$ reaction and the rate depends only on the concentration of alkyl halide.
