Chloromethane reacts with dilute sodium cyanide (Na+ -C‚N) chloromethane cyanide acetonitrile chloride. When the concentration of chloromethane is doubled, the rate is observed to double. When the concentration of cyanide ion is tripled, the rate is observed to triple. Write the rate equation for this reaction.

Acetic anhydride reacts with water in the following manner: CH3C(O)-O-C(O)CH3 + H2O = 2CH3CO2 If this reaction is carried out in an inert solvent with low concentrations of both acetic anhydride and water, it follows the rate law rate = k [CH3C(O)-O-C(O)CH3] [H2O] with a rate constant of 0.0035 s-1. However, if low concentrations of acetic anhydride are placed in pure water, it follows the rate law rate = K [CH3C(O)-O-C(O)CH3] where K = 0.1944 s-1. Explain why this is happening.
