Which haloalkane reacts fastest with aqueous NaOH? A CH₃Cl B 1-chloropropane C 2-chloropropane D tert-butyl chloride... Kindly answer this question...

But sis, I think CH3Cl is most suitable because aqueous NaOH gives substitution reactions and it generally prioritize primary alkyl halides

Here solvent is water (aq.NaOH)which is polar protic solvent that facilitate SN1 reaction. And tertiary alkyl halides prioritize SN1 reaction

You're right, thanks for the guidance

Tertiary butyl chloride due to formation of carbocation
