Question

reaction of ethyl iodide to ethyl cyanide​

Answer 1

Answer:

Conversion of ethyl iodide to ethyl cyanide:

Ethyl iodide can be converted to ethyl cyanide by various means but there is only one typical way to convert ethyl bromide to ethyl isocyanide that is by reacting ethyl iodide with alcoholic silver cyanide.

Ethyl iodide when mixed with alcoholic silver cyanide it gives ethyl isocyanide and silver bromide is formed.

Chemical formations:

Chemical formula of ethyl iodide is: CH3CH2→Br

Chemical formula of silver cyanide is: AgCN

Chemical formula of ethyl cyanide is: CH3CH2→NC

Chemical formula of silver iodide is: AgBr

Overall reaction is:

Ethyl iodide + Silver cyanide → Ethyl cyanide + Silver Bromide

CHCH−Br + AgCN → CHCH−NC + AgBr
