The mechanism of a chemical reaction is given below.   (CH3)3CCl → (CH3)3C+ + Cl– (slow)   (CH3)3C+ + OH– → (CH3)3COH (fast) Which of the following statements concerning the reaction is/are correct?   1. The overall balanced reaction is: (CH3)3CCl + OH– → (CH3)3COH + Cl–   2. Hydroxide ion is a reaction intermediate.   3. The following rate law is consistent with the mechanism: rate = k[(CH3)3CCl]OH–].
