I would guess that the result of the reaction will be a mixture of diethylether and ethene. Which will prevail depends on conditions, such as pressure and temperature. High temperature and low pressure will favour the formation of ethene.
Elimination and substitution are concurrenting reactions, meaning that either of them can proceed under similar conditions. This is because ethoxide can act both as a nucleophile and as a base (basicity can be viewed as nucleophilicity towards acidic hydrogens).

chemical reaction is a process in which one set of chemical substances (reactants) is converted into another (products). It involves making and breaking chemical bonds and the rearrangement of atoms. Chemical reactions are represented by balanced chemical equations, with chemical formulas symbolizing reactants and products. For specific chemical reactants, two questions may be posed about a possible chemical reaction. First, will a reaction occur? Second, what are the possible products if a reaction occur. when ethayl chloride is treated with water then EtBr + H2O results in hydrolysis . Product is Ethanol.
