Which of the following statements is wrong?$

Question

TuteeHUB · Accepted Answer

The base-catalysed ‚âà√≠¬¨¬±-halogenation of propanone proceeds easily to give 1,1,1-trihalopropanone

TuteeHUB · Answer

The base-catalysed ‚âà√≠¬¨¬±-halogenation of propanone is first order in the concentration of the base

TuteeHUB · Answer

The rate constant for the base-catalysed ‚âà√≠¬¨¬±-halogenation of propanone decreases in the order Cl2 > Br2 > I2

TuteeHUB · Answer

Polyhalogenation of propanone is difficult under acidic conditions, but the products are the same as those obtained under basic conditions
