Question

Write a chemical equation for action of alcoholic silver propionate on ethyl bromide.

Answer 1

Answer:

Silver acetate is CH3COOAg and when it reacts with ethyl bromide it gives CH3COOCH2CH3 i.e ethyl ethanoate and side product is AgBr.

I hope it will help u..

Answer 2

when ethyl bromide is heated with alcoholic silver propionate , ethyl propionate is formed.

C₂H₅-Br+ C₂H₅COOAg ---------→ C₂H₅-COO-C₂H₅+ AgBr

• when ethyl bromide is reacted with silver propionate it gives ethyl propionate.
• it gives silver bromide as a side product.
• this reaction takes place in the presence of alcohol.
• this is a double displacement reaction in which the Br binds with the ag and C₂H₅ binds with C₂H₅-COO.
