Explanation:
CH_3)_3 CCl(aq) --> (CH_3)_3 C^+ (aq) + Cl^- (aq)
(CH_3)_3 C^+ (aq) + H_2O(l) --> (CH_3)_3 CHOH^+ (aq)
(CH_3)_3 CHOH^+ (aq) + H_2O(l) --> (CH_3)_3 COH(aq) + H_3 O^+(aq)
Write the chemical equation of the overall reaction
CH_3)_3 CCl(aq) + 2H_2O(l) --> (CH_3)_3 COH(aq) + H_3 O^+(aq) + Cl^- (aq)
Are there any intermediates in this mechanism?
Yes
Intermediates; (CH_3)_3 C^+(aq), (CH_3)_3 CHOH^+ (aq)
