Aqueous KOH is alkaline in nature i.e. it dissociates to produce a hydroxide ion. These hydroxide ions act as a strong nucleophile and replace the helogen atom in a alkyl halide.
RCL + KOH (aq) = ROL + KCL
This result in a formation of alcohol molecules and the reaction is known as nucleophilic substitution reaction.
Alcoholic,KOH, specially in ethanol, produce C2H5O- ions. The C2H5O- ions is a strong base than the OH- ion. Thus the former abstracts the B-hydrogen of a alkyl halide to produce alkenes. This reaction is known as elimination reactions.
CH3CH2BR +KOH(alc) = H2C = CH2 + KBR + H2O.
