    What is the rate law for the reaction?
    What is the rate law for the reaction? (Note: Choose as many answers as appropriate.)


    The following data were obtained for the reaction of (CH3)3CBr with hydroxide ion at 55 oC.

    (CH3)3CBr + OH- (CH3)3COH + Br-

    Initial Concentration (mol L-1)
    [(CH3)3CBr]

    0.1
    0.2
    0.3
    0.1
    0.1

    Initial Concentration (mol L-1)
    [OH-]

    0.1
    0.1
    0.1
    0.2
    0.3

    Rate of Formation
    of (CH3)3COH
    (mol L-1 s-1)

    0.001
    0.002
    0.003
    0.001
    0.001

    .
    1.Rate = k[(CH3)3CBr]^0

    2.Rate = k[(CH3)3CBr][OH-]^0

    3.Rate = k[(CH3)3CBr]^0[OH-]

    4.Rate = k[(CH3)3CBr][OH-]

    5.Rate = k[(CH3)3CBr]

    first time I choose 4. but it was incorrect and then I choose 2. it was incorrect either. I didn't put 4,2 together , I did separately
    it says Choose as many answers as appropriate.

    make me confusing , please help me

    I think you have to say that they are 2 and 5, since [OH-]^0 = 1.
