What determines the rate of reaction for Halogenoalkanes ? [1]
The carbon-halogen bond strength decides reactivity
A low carbon-halogen bond will react faster than a strong carbon-halogen bond
Look at notes for elimination reaction
What conditions are needed for an elimination reaction? [2]
If you warm a Halogenoalkane with hydroxide ions dissolved in ethanol instead of water, It creates an alkene. You have to heat the mixture under reflux
When a Halogenoalkanes alkane reacts with hydroxides it can do both neuclophillic or elimination: aqueous conditions for neuc and anhydrous for elim
