Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The E2 mechanism is a concerted reaction. This implies that two species are involved in the rate determining step.

These two species are the alky halide and the base respectively. Hence, the statement is false. The rate of E2 elimination depends both on the concentration the alkyl halide and that of the base.
