Answer:
To determine the rate law for the given reaction, we need to look at the rate equation, which relates the rate of the reaction to the concentration of reactants. The rate law is typically expressed in the form:
Rate = k[A]^m[B]^n
where:
- Rate is the reaction rate,
- [A] and [B] are the concentrations of the reactants,
- k is the rate constant,
- m and n are the reaction orders with respect to each reactant.
In the reaction you provided:
CH3CH2CH2CHBrCH3 + OH^- -> CH3CH2CH2CHOHCH3 + Br^-
To determine the rate law, we need to experimentally determine the reaction orders with respect to each reactant (m and n) and the overall rate constant (k) by conducting experiments with different initial concentrations of the reactants and measuring the rates.
Once you have experimental data, you can use it to determine the rate law for the reaction as indicated above. If you have specific data or need further explanation on how to determine the rate law, please let me know!
