Which of the following represents the rate law for an E2 reaction? A)Rate = k[alkyl halide] B)Rate = k[alkyl halide][base] C)Rate = k[alkyl halide]² D)Rate = k[base]²

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rate law for an E2 reaction involves the concentration of both the alkyl halide and the base. This corresponds to option B, which includes both [alkyl halide] and [base] in the rate law. The other options either only include [alkyl halide] (option A) or include additional terms that do not correspond to the mechanism of an E2 reaction (options C and D).
