Question

The reaction: (CH3)3CBr + OH− → (CH3)3COH + Br− in a certain solvent is first order with respect to OH−. In several experiments, the rate constant k was determined at different temperatures. A plot of ln(k) vs 1/T was constructed and the slope of the line was -1.10 x 104 K with a y-intercept of 33.5. What is the value for k at a temperature of 25°C?
