Haloalkanes can undergo hydrolysis Astudent carries out an experiment to find the relative rate of hydrolysis of 1-chloropropane, CsHrCl, 1-bromopropane, CsH7Br, and 1-iodopropane, CsHrl. The student adds 2 cm? of ethanol to 2 cm? of aqueous silver nitrate to three test tubes labelled A, B and C. The student adds 5 drops of a different haloalkane to each test-tube in rapid succession and shakes each tube. The student measures the time for a precipitate to form in each test-tube. The results are shown below, Time taken for Testtube| Haloalkane reaction to take place A Carl about half an hour B CoHBr a few minutes c CaHil a few seconds i. Write an ionic equation involving aqueous silver nitrate for formation of one of the precipitates. man ii.
