Can anyone please give a clear explanation of whether the ease of hydrolysis of group IV tetrachlorides increase or decrease down the group? including the reasoning.

When A reacts with Br(qa) which group should we consider as the first one to put Br ? oh or c(ch3)3? And why?
Please help!! Thankyou
C(CH3)3 and OH both are electron donating groups.
Substitution will occur about ortho and para positions

diagram got deleted :/ Br(aq) with A
June 2013/41 was 5 c

It would be in the 2 and 6 position with respect to OH.

OH is a stronger activating group compared to alkyl groups, there is also the issue of the steric hindrance of the large alkyl group.
