Assertion A : Hydrolysis of an alkyl chloride is a slow reaction...
Assertion A: Hydrolysis of an alkyl chloride is a slow reaction but in the presence of , the rate of hydrolysis increases.
Reason R: 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.
Options
- AA is false but R is true
- BA is true but R is false
- CBoth A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
- DBoth A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A
Correct answer
C. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
Step-by-step solution
Iodide ion is a powerful nucleophile and hence reacts rapidly with to form . Further because ion is a better leaving group than ion, therefore , is more rapidly hydrolysed than to form .
