What methods can be used to measure the hydrolysis of halogenoalkanes? If possible can you describe procedures and why the method can be used. Thanks.
Acid-base titration is the best methods to measure hydrolysis of halogenoalkanes. Scheme of reaction halogenoalkanes with water:
R-Hal + H2O---->R-OH + HHal
So you have HHal after hydrolysis, which can be titrated with NaOH or KOH in presence of some indiсator.
