a. Some of the reaction times that you measured in Flasks B-E were quite fast. Predict what would happen to the reaction rate* if you changed each these parameters, but did not change any other conditions:

1. Increased the molar concentration of NaOH (aq) from 0.10 M to 0.30 M
2. Increased the molar concentration of 2-Chloro-2-methylpropane from 0.10 to 0.30 M
3. Decreased the molar concentration of NaOH (aq) from 0.10 M to 0.025 M
4. Decreased the molar concentration of 2-Chloro-2-methylpropane from 0.10 to 0.025 M

b. Which of the conditions above would make it easier for students to collect data more easily? Explain.

c. Testing other substrates: Suppose the following alkyl chlorides were used as the substrate rather than t-butyl chloride. What effect, if any, would you expect these different substrates to have on the reaction rate? Explain.

1) t-butyl bromide

2) t-butyl iodide

Reaction B-E was a reaction between: .010M NaOH, .10M C3H8O, indicator dye, and R-X in an organic solvent - 1 proponal.
