Hydrolysis of Haloalkanes by Nucleophilic Substitution

In this video, we look at the hydrolysis of haloalkanes by nucleophilic substitution. First we explore what is meant by a nucleophile. We then look at the mechanism of hydrolysis of haloalkanes by nucleophilic substitution. Finally, we look at the conditions required for the hydrolysis of haloalkanes.
