Which of the following compounds is obtained when Bromoethane is reacted with silver acetate?

Options

  1. Apropanal
  2. Bacetic acid
  3. Cethyl acetate
  4. Dmethyl acetate

Correct answer

C. ethyl acetate

Step-by-step solution

The reaction between bromoethane and silver acetate is a nucleophilic substitution reaction. The acetate ion ( CH₃COO^- ) acts as a nucleophile and attacks the electrophilic carbon of bromoethane ( CH₃CH₂Br ), displacing the bromide ion. The chemical equation for the reaction is: CH₃CH₂Br + CH₃COOAg CH₃COOCH₂CH₃ + AgBr The product formed is CH₃COOCH₂CH₃ , which is ethyl acetate. Answer: ethyl acetate
