Question

Hydroxide ion reacts with methyl iodide to give methanol in an irreversible second-order reaction with a rate constant k = 6.5 ´ 10-5 L mol-1 s-1.
OH–(aq) + CH3I(aq) ® CH3OH(aq) + I–(aq)
Rate = k[OH–][CH3I]
How long will it take the concentration of CH3I to decrease from 0.010 M to 0.0020 M in a 1.00 M solution of sodium hydroxide?

A.

120 s

B.

2.5 ´ 104 s

✓ Correct
C.

4.1 ´ 106 s

D.

6.2 ´ 106 s
