Reaction of halo-alkanes with :

(i) concentrated alcoholic alkali under reflux condition gives alkenes.
(ii) dilute aqueous alkali gives alcohols.



For those who have already given Paper 2 (any variant) of chemistry - NO DISCUSSION UNTIL 24 HOURS have passed by.
Thank you.

Continuous efforts matter more than the outcome.
