16. Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Students in a SCH4U class were examining the reaction between 2-bromo-2-methlypropane and water: (CH3)3CBr (aq) + H₂O → (CH3)3COH (aq) +H* (aq) + Br (aq) Their rate experiments show that the reaction is first order in (CH3)3CBr, but zero order in water. One of the students, Yuek-Fen, presented the following rate mechanism to her class for the above reaction. Determine if the mechanism below is plausible. Explain how you arrived at your decision. (CH3)3CBr (aq) (CH3)3CH* (aq) + H₂O (1)→ (CH3)3COH₂ (aq) → Is this mechanism plausible? Explanation: → (CH3)3C (aq) + Br¨ (aq) (CH3)3COH₂ (aq) (fast) 2H+ (aq) (CH3)3COH (aq) + (yes or no) (slow) (fast)
