Equal amount of an `RCl(C_4 H_9Cl)` is reacted at the same temperature with equal volume of `0.2 M` and `0.4 M` solution of `KOH`, respectively, in two separate experiments. The time taken for the reaction of `50 %` of `(C_4 H_9 Cl)` was found to be same, the alkyl halide is :

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the information given about the reaction of the alkyl halide \( C_4H_9Cl \) with two different concentrations of \( KOH \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Reaction**: - We have an alkyl halide \( C_4H_9Cl \) reacting with \( KOH \). - The concentrations of \( KOH \) used are \( 0.2 M \) and \( 0.4 M \). 2. **Observing the Reaction Rate**: - The time taken for the reaction to reach 50% completion is the same for both concentrations of \( KOH \). - This indicates that the rate of reaction is independent of the concentration of the nucleophile \( KOH \). 3. **Identifying the Reaction Mechanism**: - Since the rate of reaction does not depend on the concentration of \( KOH \), we can conclude that the reaction follows an \( SN1 \) mechanism. - In an \( SN1 \) mechanism, the rate-determining step involves the formation of a carbocation, which is dependent only on the concentration of the alkyl halide. 4. **Determining the Type of Alkyl Halide**: - The \( SN1 \) mechanism is favored by tertiary (3°) alkyl halides, followed by secondary (2°) and then primary (1°) alkyl halides. - Given that the reaction is independent of the nucleophile concentration, we can infer that \( C_4H_9Cl \) must be a tertiary alkyl halide. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the alkyl halide \( C_4H_9Cl \) is a tertiary alkyl halide. ### Final Answer: The alkyl halide is a tertiary alkyl halide (3° halide). ---
