JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 6. Haloalkanes and Haloarenes

Assertion \(A:\) Hydrolysis of an alkyl chloride is a slow reaction but in the presence of \(NaI\), the rate of the hydrolysis increases. Reason \(R : I^{-1}\) 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 \(A\) is false but \(R\) is true
  2. B \(A\) is true but \(R\) is false
  3. C Both \(A\) and \(R\) are true and \(R\) is the correct explanation of \(A\)
  4. D Both \(A\) and \(R\) are true but \(R\) is \(NOT\) the correct explanation of \(A\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Both \(A\) and \(R\) are true and \(R\) is the correct explanation of \(A\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The rate of hydrolysis of alkyl chloride improves because of better Nucleophilicity of \(I ^{-}\).
