|
Answer» SOLUTION :(i) When BROMOETHANE is treated with `KNO_2`, the PRODUCT formed is Ethyl nitrite. `underset("Bromoethane")(CH_3CH_2Br) + underset("Nitrite")underset("Potassium")(KNO_2) to underset("Ethyl nitrite")(CH_3 - CH_2) - O - N = O+ KBR` (ii) When bromoethane is treated with `AgNO_2`,NITROETHANE will be formed as the product. `underset("Bromoethane")(CH_3CH_2Br) + underset("Silver nitrite")(AgNO_2) to underset("Nitroethane")(CH_3CH_2NO_2) + AgBr` |
