Q. Following reaction, $\left( CH_{3} \right)_{3}CBr + H_{2}O \rightarrow \left( CH_{3} \right)_{3}COH + HBr$ is an example of
A) Elimination reaction
B) Free radical substitution
C) Nucleophilic substitution
D) Electrophilic substitution
Explanation
(c)
$\left( CH_{3} \right)_{3}CBr + H_{2}O \rightarrow \left( CH_{3} \right)_{3}C - OH + HBr$
Br is subsituted by $–OH^{-}$(nucleophile)
$S_{N}1$(unimolecular nuclerophilic substitution reaction)
