The rate of reaction of $t$-butyl bromide and . $\mathrm{NaOH}$ in water depends on the concentration of
both $t$-butyl bromide and $\mathrm{NaOH}$
$\mathrm{NaOH}$
independent of concentration
$t$-butyl bromide
Solution
Hydrolysis of $t$-butyl bromide with aqueous $\mathrm{NaOH}$ is an example of $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1$ reaction. The formation of carbocation is the slow step and therefore rate determining step. The rate of the reaction depends only on concentration of tertiary butyl bromide. .
Step I. Formation of carbocation
Step 2. Attack of nucleophile on carbocation
