The products of reaction of alcoholic silver nitrite with ethyl bromide are
Answers
Answer:
Nitroethane and Silver bromide are the products of reaction between alcoholic silver nitrate and ethyl bromide. As silver nitrate is a covalent compound it carries lone pair of electrons from both oxygen and nitrogen. Lone pair of nitrogen is easily available to form a bond; as it is less electro-negative than oxygen. As a result, nitroethane is formed while silver bonds with bromine.
Explanation:
Answer:
Reaction compounds:
Alcoholic silver nitrite - Ag NO₂ in presence of C₂H₅OH &
Ethyl Bromide - C₂H₅Br
Their reaction takes place in the presence of alcohol which acts as a medium in the reaction and also there on ionization, the lone pair of oxygen needs to be attacked for the reaction to come through.
Products of reaction are - Silver Bromide (AgBr) and Nitroethane (C₂H₅NO₂)
Ag NO₂ + C₂H₅Br ( in presence of alcohol ) → AgBr + C₂H₅NO₂
