Haloalkanes And Haloarenes Question 1
Question 1 - 24 January - Shift 1
Assertion A : Hydrolysis of an alkyl chloride is a slow reaction but in the presence of $NaI$, the rate of the hydrolysis increases.
Reason $\mathbf{R}$ : $I^{-}$is a good nucleophile as well as a good leaving group.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
(1) A is false but $R$ is true
(2) $A$ is true but $R$ is false
(3) Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$
(4) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of $A$
Show Answer
Answer: (3)
Solution:
Formula: $S_N1$ Reaction
The rate of hydrolysis of alkyl chloride improves because of better Nucleophilicity of $I^{-}$.
