Assertion : Rate of hydrolysis of methyl...

Assertion : Rate of hydrolysis of methyl chloride to methanol is higher in DMF than in water.
Reason : Hydrolysis of methyl chloride follows second order kinetics.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Hydrolysis of methyl chloride follows `S_(N^2)` reaction The rate of `S_(N^2)` reaction is higher in aprotic polar solvent such as dimethyl formamide `(DMF){HCON(CH_3)_2}` .
