A Levels Chemistry (9701)•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
