The reaction of methyl bromide with a base is linearly dependent on the concentrations of methyl bromide and OH −. For T = 40°C, the rate constant for such a reaction is 1.2×10 −8/(M•s). Determine the effects of increasing methyl bromide's concentration to 1.50 M on the:
1. Reaction rate
2. Rate constant
