ANSWER:

Solution 15P

Step 1 of 8

A Unimolecular elimination reaction  involves two steps. In the first step alkyl halide dissociates heterolytically. This step is the rate determining step of the reaction. In the second step of the reaction the base forms an elimination product by removing a proton from a carbon adjacent to the positively charged carbon. Because the first step is the rate determining step, increasing the concentration of the base which comes into play only in the second step of the reaction has no effect on the rate of the reaction. Thus, reaction is follows first order kinetics.
