    In alkaline hydrolysis of a tertiary halide by aqueous alkali if concentration of alkali is doubled, then the reaction

    A)  will be doubled    

    B)  will be halved

    C)  will remain constant

    D)  None of the above

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     In alkaline hydrolysis of a 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 \[{{S}_{N}}1\]reaction and rate of\[{{S}_{N}}1\]reaction is not based upon the concentration of nucleophile (i. e., alkali).
