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

Solution:

In alkaline hydrolysis of tertiary halide by aqueous alkali, if concentration of alkali is doubled, then the reaction will remain constant because t-alkyl halides with aqueous alkali give reaction and the rate of reaction is not based upon the concentration of nucleophile (i.e., alkali).
