When isopropyl bromide reacts with KOH, 2-propanol is produced. 2-propanol reacts with HCl and ZnCl2ZnCl2  to generate 2-propyl chloride, which causes turbidity after 5 minutes, whereas n-propyl bromide reacts with KOH to produce propanol, and propanol reacts with HCl and ZnCl2ZnCl2 to make 2-propyl chloride, which does not cause turbidity
