The rate for the reaction, $RCl + NaOH\left( {aq} \right) \to ROH + NaCl$ is given by $rate{\rm{ }} = K_1\left[ {RCl} \right].$ The rate of the reaction is

Unaffected by increasing the temperature of the reaction

Decreased on increasing the temperature of the reaction

Doubled on doubling the concentration of $NaOH$

The rate for the reaction,

RCl + NaOH\left( {aq} \right) \to ROH + NaCl

is given by

rate\mathrm{ } = K_1\left[ {RCl} \right].

The rate of the reaction is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

Halved on reducing the concentration of

RCl

to half

Option C (Halved on reducing the concentration of

RCl

to half) is correct because the rate is directly proportional to the concentration of

RCl

in a first-order reaction.
