Question

Hydrolysis of an alkyl halide (RX) by dilute alkali [OH^-] takes place simultaneously by S_N2 and S_N1 pathway. A plot of - 1 [RX] d[R-X] dt vs [OH^-] is a straight line of slope equal to 2 10^3 ,mol^ -1 L ,h^ -1 and intercept equal to 1 10^2 ,h^ -1 . Calculate the initial rate (mole L^ -1 min^ -1 ) of consumption of RX when the reaction is carried out taking 1 mol L^ -1 of RX and 0.1 mol L^ -1 of [OH^-] ions.
