Question

write balanced chemical equation for the action of following reagent on 2- chlorobutane a) Aqueous potassium hydroxide b) sodium methoxide c) silver propionate​

Answer 1

Given that,

The action of following reagent on 2- chlorobutane  

We need to write the balanced chemical equation

Using given data

(a). 2-chlorobutane with aqueous potassium hydroxide

$CH_{3}CHClCH_{3}\xrightarrow[KOH]{aq.}CH_{3}CHOHCH_{3}+KCl$

(b). 2-chlorobutane with sodium methoxide

$CH_{3}CHClCH_{3}\xrightarrow[]{NaOCH_{3}}CH_{3}CHCH_{2}+NaOH+CH_{3}Cl$

(c). 2-chlorobutane with silver propionate

$CH_{3}CHClCH_{3}\xrightarrow[]{AgOOCCH_{2}CH_{3}}CH_{3}CHCH_{2}+AgCl$

Hence, This is required answer.
