Why are alkyl halides insoluble in water?
Alkyl halides are insoluble in water though they are more polar than alkanes because they cannot form hydrogen bond with water but are soluble in other organic solvents as are the corresponding alkanes
Describe the uses of alkyl halide?
There are a few naturally occurring alkyl halides which can be extracted from Crude Oil, but most are synthetically created. There is a very detailed article on these compounds on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkyl_halide
What type of compound is ch3-ch2-ch2-cl?
It is an haloalkane (aka alkyl halide).
Why primary alkyl halide are not syntesized using Sn1 reaction?
as order of reactivity of sn1 reaction is 3>2>1 , we do not synthesise primary alkyl halide using sn1 reation. as there is no pushing from other carbon atoms, it is difficult for the X part of RX to separate itself.
Give an explanation for the order of reactivity observed for the three saturated alkyl halides with ag plus?
Alkyl halides are the most reactive in the third stage of saturation when using silver nitrate as the reactant. However, if water is used as the solvent the silver nitrate will cause the alkyl halide to ionize. If the alkyl halide is in stage 1 or 2, a molecular rearrangement may happen prior to the process being complete; this is not the case with stage 3 saturation.

How many distinct alkene products are possible when a alkyl halide undergoes E2 elimination?
It depends on the structure of the alkyl halide. Although generally E1 elimination would predominate in cases where the alkyl halide is highly substituted (and more products are possible).
What are other examples of alkyl halide?
an example of Alkyl halides is R-X ( x represents any halogen) C2F4 is Teflon it is an example of Alkyl Halides

What reagents are used to convert alcohols to alkyl halides?
HX X being a halide. Which makes it basic
Why must the crude alkyl halide product be dried carefully with anhydrous calcium chloride before distillation?
crude alkyl halide in liquid state is too hygroscopic to cath fire even at little temperature! but in solid form its hygroscopic nature lowers decreasing the danger mentioneed above! that's y crude alkyl halide producs should be dried before distillation!
What is the reaction between alcoholic KOH and alkyl halide?
When alc. KOH react with alkyle halide it for Alkene, KX (X Is stande for halide) and water. And this reaction also called Dehydrohalogenation...
What type of compound is ch3-ch2-ch2-cl?
It is an haloalkane (aka alkyl halide).
Are carboxylic acids soluble in water?
Simple Carboxylic acids are miscible in water due to the formation of hydrogen bonds with the water molecules.But,higher Carboxylic acids are practically insoluble in water because of increased non-polarity,which comes from carbon consisting alkyl groups.They readily dissolve in organic solvents,though.
Why hydrogen bromide is electrophile?
hydrogen bromide is not the electrophile its bromide ion may act as the nucleophile, in alkyl halide the alkyl group may act as an electrophile.
What happens when Alkyl halide reacts with silver nitrate?
the agx will presipate and one ether will produce
What is hda?
HDA is a process through which the formation of alkyl halide takes place........................................ In which one hydroen atom or u can say that alkyl group like(CH3,C2H5.C3H7......CnHn-1)react with any halogen atom like( F,Cl,Br I)react and give salt or u can say alkyl halide ............................................THANK YOU!
