Hydrolysis of Tertiary Butyl bromide is a _.
Correct answer: A. First order reaction
- A. First order reaction
- B. Zero Order Reaction
- C. Pseudo Second Order
- D. Pseudo First Order
Explanation
Answer: DReason: Pseudo-first-order reactions are those which can be defined as second-order reactions that can be made to behave as the first order. Such reactions occur when one reacting material is present in great excess or is maintained at a constant concentration compared with the other substance. The water in the reaction is in excess and its concentration remains constant. Therefore, only the concentration of the tertiary butyl bromide affects the reaction rate. This means the reaction is pseudo-first order.

About Reaction Kinetics
Reaction kinetics relates reaction rate to concentration, temperature, surface area and catalysts. Questions cover rate laws, reaction order, rate constants, activation energy and the activated complex, including how a catalyst lowers the activation energy without changing the overall energy change or equilibrium position.
