Question

What happens when methyl chloride is treated with KNO3 ?? plzz leave a proper ans

Answer 1

Ethyl chloride on reaction with potassium or sodium nitrite gives nitroethane as the major product. Dimethyl formamide (DMF) is used as solvent.

C2H5Cl + KNO3------>C2H5NO3 + KCl

Answer 2

There will be no reaction of methyl chloride $[CH_{3}Cl]$ and potassium nitrate $[KNO_{3}]$.

However, methyl chloride reacts with potassium nitrite $[KNO_{2}]$ to give nitro methane and potassium nitrite as products.The reaction will be as follows

$CH_{3}Cl + KNO_{2} \rightarrow CH_{3}-NO_{2} + KCl$
