Answer: RCl is hydrolysed to ROH slowly but reaction is rapid if catalytic amounts of KI are added to the reaction mixture. <br> Reaction (R ) : I^(-) is a powerful nucleophile which reacts rapidly with RCl to form RI. I^(-) is a batter leaving group than Cl^(-) and RI is hydrolysed rapidly to ROH.
