Rate equation for the hydrolysis of tertiary butyl bromide is independent of concentration of water as a reactant because:
Correct answer: D. Both A and B
- A. It's in excess
- B. A solvent
- C. Solute
- D. Both A and B
Explanation
The rate equation for the hydrolysis of tertiary butyl bromide is independent of the concentration of water as a reactant because water is usually present in excess and acts as both a reactant and a solvent. Since its concentration remains relatively constant throughout the reaction, it doesn't significantly affect the rate equation.

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.
