Question

Product obtained by heating c2h5br in presence of dry silver oxide

Answer 1

Answer : The product obtained by heating $C_2H_5Br$ in presence of dry silver oxide are, Diethyl ether and silver bromide.

Explanation:

According to the question, when ethyl bromide heat in the presence of dry silver oxide then it gives diethyl ether and silver bromide as products.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$2C_2H_5Br+Ag_2O(dry)\rightarrow C_2H_5-O-C_2H_5+2AgBr$

By the stoichiometry, 2 mole of ethyl bromide react with 1 mole of dry silver oxide to give 1 mole of diethyl ether and 2 moles of silver bromide.

Therefore, the product obtained by heating $C_2H_5Br$ in presence of dry silver oxide are, Diethyl ether and silver bromide.
