AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the hydrolysis of the two haloalkanes given: 1-chlorobutane and 2-chloro-2-methylpropane, in the presence of aqueous KOH. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the type of reaction**: - The hydrolysis of haloalkanes in the presence of a nucleophile (OH⁻ from KOH) is a nucleophilic substitution reaction. This can occur via two mechanisms: SN1 and SN2. 2. **Determine the structure of the compounds**: ...
