Question

Methyl bromide reacts with silver acetate to give

Answer 1

Answer:

CH3Br+AgCH3COO--->CH3COOH+AgCH2

Answer 2

When methyl bromide ( CH$_{3}$Br ) is reacted with silver acetate ( CH$_{3}$COOAg ) , methyl ethanoate ( CH$_{3}$COOCH$_{3}$ ) is formed .

The balanced chemical equation is -

CH$_{3}$Br + CH$_{3}$COOAg  →  CH$_{3}$COOCH$_{3}$  + AgBr

• Methyl acetate is a flammable liquid . It has an unpleasant smell like nail polish removers .
• It is used as a solvent in paints and nail polish remover .
