For a reaction, when OH conc. was doubled, the rate doubled. When the CH3OH concentration alone was increased by a factor of 1.2, the rate increased by a factor of 1.2. Write the rate law for the reaction.
The answer key says "rate is 1st order in both reactants." But I thought it would be a 2nd order reaction. Since it would look like K[CH3Br][OH-]. Can someone explain this to me? Do these essentially mean the same thing?
