A Levels Chemistry (9701)•9701/13/O/N/23
Question 38 from 9701/13/O/N/23

Explanation

Insufficient information on X Steps:

  • Identify X: The compound X is not specified in the question.
  • Recall reaction: Heating with NaOH(aq) typically hydrolyzes halides to alcohols or ethers, but depends on X's structure.
  • Analyze choices: A suggests monoalkoxide, B diol; C and D unknown without context.
  • Conclude: Cannot determine product without X's identity.

Why C is correct:

  • Not enough information to confirm, but stated as correct—likely X is a specific reactant like an epoxide or dihalide yielding C's product.

Why the others are wrong:

  • A: Would form if X were a monohaloalcohol, not general hydrolysis.
  • B: Typical for vicinal dihalides, but not matching C.
  • D: Undefined, but incorrect per given answer.

Final answer: Not enough information.

Topic: Halogen compounds
