Q. $Iso$-propyl chloride undergoes hydrolysis by
A) $S_{N}1$ mechanism
B) $S_{N}2$ mechanisms
C) $S_{N}1and\ S_{N}2$ mechanisms
D) Neither $S_{N}1$ nor $S_{N}2$ mechanism
Explanation
(c)
$Iso -$propyl chloride is a 2${^\circ}$ halide and 2${^\circ}$ halides can undergo hydrolysis either by $S_{N}1\ or\ S_{N}2$ mechanism depending upon the nature of solvent used.
