PP014 - Rates of hydrolysis of halogenoalkanes (qualitative)
Halogenoalkanes contain polar covalent carbon-halogen bonds and undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions. This small-scale activity can be used to investigate the hydrolysis reaction of various halogenoalkane compounds by comparing the time taken for silver halide precipitates to form.
