A Levels Chemistry

When halogenoalkanes, RX, are hydrolysed with NaOH, the corresponding sodium halide, NaX,
is produced.
RX + NaOH → ROH + Nax
A student investigated the amount of Nax produced by hydrolysing CH;CH2CI and another
halogenoalkane, Y. In a given time the amount of sodium halide formed was greater with Y than
with CH;CH2CL
