Multiple Choice
Consider the reaction (CH3) 3CBr + CH3CH2OH → Experimentally one finds that if the concentration of (CH3) 3CBr is tripled, the rate of the reaction triples. One also finds that if the concentration of CH3CH2OH is doubled, the rate of the reaction is unchanged. Which of the following correctly describes the kinetics of this reaction?
A) The reaction is third order in (CH3) 3CBr.
B) The reaction is first order in CH3CH2OH.
C) The reaction is second order overall.
D) The reaction is first order overall.
E) none of the above
