Assertion A : Hydrolysis of an alkyl chloride is a slow reaction but in the presence of Nal, the rate of the hydrolysis increases.
Reason 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.

Question

Assertion A : Hydrolysis of an alkyl chloride is a slow reaction but in the presence of Nal, the rate of the hydrolysis increases.
Reason 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.

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. (c) The rate of hydrolysis of alkyl chloride improves because of better Nucleophilicity of I^−.
