(a) The rate expression for hydrolysis of amide A with aqueous sodium hydroxide can be written as r = k[A][OH-] + ka[A][OH-12. Ph + PhNHME FO NaOH H2O N-PH B B (i) [4] 4 Account for the form of the rate expression, explaining how the mechanism differs at low and high values of [OH-]. Would the value of kt be larger for amide A or amide B? Explain your answer. (ii) [2]
