Question

The products of reaction of alcoholic silver nitrite with ethyl bromide are

Answer 1

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 2

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
