pH of an Alkyl Halide

Briefly state the pH of an Alkyl Halide?

E

Expert

Verified

The pH is generally on acidic side (that is, pH < 7). The reason being, some of alkyl halides tend to decompose through beta hydride elimination process producing hydro-halo acids which impart acidity, example: tertiary butyl chloride decomposes to generate HCl or the hydrochloric acid.
