Reaction kinetics — practice question

Which statement about the hydrolysis of 1-bromopropane in water is correct?

  • AThe hydrolysis reaction between water and 1-iodopropane is faster because the C-Br bond is less polar than the C-I bond.
  • BThe hydrolysis reaction with water is very slow because water is a weak electrophile.
  • CThe mechanism of the reaction involves the formation of a stable carbocation.
  • DThe reaction is slower with 1-chloropropane because the C-Cl bond is stronger than the C-Br bond.
