Consider the reaction of 2-chloro-2-methylpentane with sodium iodide. Assuming no other changes, how would it affect the rate if one simultaneously doubled the concentration of 2-chloro-2-methylpentane and sodium iodide?
A) No effect.
B) It would double the rate.
C) It would triple the rate.
D) It would quadruple the rate.
E) It would increase the rate five times.

Explanation:

The given reaction represents the reaction between a tertiary alkyl halide that is 2-chloro-2-methylpentane and a nucleophile that is NaI.

This reaction favors SN1 mechanism which has order one.

So, the given reaction follows first-order kinetics.

For a first-order reaction, the rate law is:

rate =k [A]

That means the rate of the reaction is dependent on the concentration of reactants.

So, when the concentration of the reactant is doubled then, the rate of the reaction is also doubled.

Among the given options the correct answer is option B) It would double the rate.

im not exactly sure but i think its b!
