### Writing the Rate Law for an Elementary Reaction

For the given chemical reaction:

\[ \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{Br}(\text{aq}) + \text{OH}^-(\text{aq}) \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{OH}(\text{aq}) + \text{Br}^-(\text{aq}) \]

We are required to write the corresponding rate law using \( k_1 \) as the rate constant.

### Given Reaction
\[ \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{Br}(\text{aq}) + \text{OH}^-(\text{aq}) \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{OH}(\text{aq}) + \text{Br}^-(\text{aq}) \]

### Instruction
Use \( k_1 \) to stand for the rate constant.

In the provided space, write the rate law as:

\[ \text{rate} = \]

### Detailed Explanation
- The box on the left is where you input the rate law expression.
- The right section contains a set of icons presumably for additional functionalities like clearing the input (marked with an 'X'), refreshing (marked with a circular arrow), and possibly help or instructions (marked with a question mark).

For an elementary reaction such as the one given, the rate law can be directly determined based on the reactants and their stoichiometry.

---

In the case of an elementary reaction, the rate law is formulated using the concentration of the reactants raised to their respective stoichiometric coefficients. For this reaction:

\[ \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{Br}(\text{aq}) + \text{OH}^-(\text{aq}) \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{OH}(\text{aq}) + \text{Br}^-(\text{aq}) \]

the rate law can be written as:

\[ \text{rate} = k_1 [\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{Br}][\text{OH}^-] \]

where \( k_1 \) represents the rate constant for the reaction.
