Chapter FRP, Problem 18P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for the increase in relative reaction rate for the given compound is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

舧 Carbocation is a species that have positively charged carbon atom.

舧 The rate of reaction increases with an increase in stability of intermediate carbocation.

舧 More the number of resonating structures, higher will be the stability of carbocation.

舧 The stability of carbocation increases in the order 1°<2°<3° >.

舧 The rate of solvolysis of the given chlorides depends upon the stability of the carbocation intermediate formed.

舧 More the stability of carbocation intermediate, more is the rate of solvolysis.

舧 If electron-donating group is attached to carbocation it stabilizes it.

舧 If electron-withdrawing group is attached to carbocation it destabilizes it.
