The treatment of alkyl chlorides with aqueous KOH leads to the formation of alcohols but in the presence of alcoholic KOH,

Question: The treatment of alkyl chlorides with aqueous KOH leads to the formation of alcohols but in the presence of alcoholic KOH, alkenes are major products. Explain. Solution: In an aqueous solution, KOH almost completely ionizes to give OHions. OHion is a strong nucleophile, which leads the alkyl chloride to undergo a substitution reaction to form alcohol. On the other hand, an alcoholic solution of KOH contains alkoxide (RO) ion, which is a strong base. Thus, it can abstract a hydrogen fro...

p-Dichlorobenzene has higher m.p.

Question: p-Dichlorobenzene has higher m.p. and lower solubility than those ofo- and m-isomers. Discuss. Solution: p-Dichlorobenzene is more symmetrical thano-andm-isomers. For this reason, it fits more closely thano-andm-isomers in the crystal lattice. Therefore, more energy is required to break the crystal lattice ofp-dichlorobenzene. As a result,p-dichlorobenzene has a higher melting point and lower solubility thano-andm-isomers....
