Question

1, 2-dibromoethane reacts with alcoholic koh to yield a product x. the hybridization state of the carbons present in x respectively are

Answer 1

Answer:sp , sp

Step-by-step explanation:

Alkyl halides does leads to be responsible for an elimination reaction with alcoholic KOH to result in yielding of alkene or alkyne that are from Dihalides

For instance the reaction to be explained as

1,2-dibromoethane (Br-CH2-CH2-Br) when subjected to alcoholic KOH and heat it gives Actetylene or ethyne

These has both as sp hybridized carbon.

Reaction in diagram.

Answer 2

Answer:

Reaction:

C2H5Br +KOH = C2H4 + KBr + H2O

this is the exact reaction that takes place.

AND THIS REAXTION IS CALLED DEHYDROHALOGENATION.

which is a laboratory preparation of ethene.
