The rate law for the reaction\(RCl + NaOH(aq) \to ROH + NaCl\) is given by Rate \( = {K_1}[RCl]\). The rate of the reaction will be
1 Doubled on doubling the concentration of sodium hydroxide
2 Halved on reducing the concentration of alkyl halide to one half
3 Decreased on increasing the temperature of the reaction
4 Unaffected by increasing the temperature of the reaction
Explanation:
(b)\(R = K[RCl]\), if \([RCl] =1/2,\) then rate \(= R/2.\)
