The action of moist silver oxide on bromoethane is as follows:
- When Ethyl bromide gets heated with moist silver oxide, this combination produces diethyl ether.
- Silver hydroxide is considered as weak base. So, hydroxide ions are released by moist silver oxide in low concentration.
- Probability of elimination reaction reduces because of low concentration of OH-
- C2H5Cl+Ag2O/H2O = C2H5OH+AgCl
