What is the experimentally-determined rate expression for the base-induced `beta`-elimination?A. `"Rate"=[RX][B^(-)]^(2)`B. `"Rate"=[RX]^(2)[B^(-)]`C. `"Rate"=K[RX][B^(-)]`D. `"Rate"=K[RX]`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
The synthesis of an alkene by dehydrohalogenation is almost always better achieved by an `E2` reaction, which follows second-order kinetics.
