MHT CET Chemistry question

In alkaline hydrolysis of tert-Butyl bromide,

(A)Rate of reaction is doubled as the concentration of the substrate is doubledCorrect
(B)Rate of reaction is halved as the concentration of any one of reactant is doubled
(C)Rate is doubled, as concentration of nucleophile is doubled
(D)Rate is independent of concentration of the reactants

Answer: (A)

Solution

Hydrolysis of tert-butyl bromide is SN1 with rate = k[(CH3)3CBr], so doubling the substrate doubles the rate; the rate is independent of the
