may correct

Answer 2

a) When chloromethane reacts with aq. KOH it gives Methanol as the chief product with the removal of Potassium Chloride.

This reaction is also known as dehydrohalogenation. Make sure that the potassium hydroxide used in the given reaction is alcoholic in nature. If aqueous potassium hydroxide is reacted with chloroethane, the main product which will be formed is alcohol with the removal of potassium chloride.

b) When chloromethane reacts with alcoholic AgCN ​it gives Methyl isocyanide as a chief product and Silver Chloride.

When alkyl halide reacts with AgCN, isocyanide forms as a product.
