Transcribed Image Text:The chemical equation corresponding to the hydrolysis reaction can be written:
R-CI+ H2O →R-OH+CI¯+ H*
Let's call a the initial concentration in 2-chloro-2-methyl-butane and x the concentration of
hydrochloric acid that is formed at time t. Water remains in large excess all over the course of the reaction.
Then one can write:
R-l + H20
