Q. Which alkyl halide is preferentially hydrolysed by $S_{N}1$ mechanism?
A) $\left( CH_{3} \right)_{3}C.Cl$
B) $CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2}Cl$
C) $CH_{3}CH_{2}Cl$
D) $CH_{3}Cl$
Explanation
(a)
Tertiary halide always favours $S_{N}1$ mechanism (as they give comparatively stabler carbocation) white primary halide favours $S_{N}2$ mechanism.
