In this video, we look at the rate of hydrolysis of haloalkanes by nucleophilic substitution. First we look at how we can use aqueous silver nitrate to measure the rate of hydrolysis of haloalkanes. We then look at how the rate of hydrolysis is affected by the halogen present.

This video is aimed at the UK A Level Chemistry specifications. Students studying International A Level Chemistry will need to check their specification.
