In the hydrolysis of an organic chloride in presence of large excess of water, RCl + H 2 O longrightarrow ROH + HCl

Question

In the hydrolysis of an organic chloride in presence of large excess of water, RCl + H 2 O longrightarrow ROH + HCl (A) moleculartiy and order of reaction both are 2. (B) molecularity is 2 but order of reaction is 1. (C) molecularity is 1 but order of reaction is 2. (D) molecularity is 1 and order of reaction is also 1.

As water used is in large excess thus, order depends only upon the concentration of RCI. However, molecularity is the number of reactants taking part in a reaction, thus, here is equal to 2.

Q. In the hydrolysis of an organic chloride in presence of large excess of water, $RCl + H_{2} O ⟶ RO H + H Cl$

moleculartiy and order of reaction both are 2.

molecularity is 2 but order of reaction is 1.

molecularity is 1 but order of reaction is 2.

molecularity is 1 and order of reaction is also 1.

As water used is in large excess thus, order depends only upon the concentration of $RC I$ . However, molecularity is the number of reactants taking part in a reaction, thus, here is equal to $2$ .
