1.	The reaction: CH_(3)CH_(2)I + KOH (aq) rarr CH_(3)CH_(2)OH + KI is classified as : (a) electrophilic substitution (b) nucleophilic substitution (c) elimination (d) addition.
Answer» SOLUTION :This is an example of nucleophilic substitution REACTION since the nucleophile `I^(-)` is replaced by the nucleophile `OH^(-)` ion. THUS, option (b) is correct.
