MCQ
The compound formed when ethyl bromide is heated with dry silver oxide is
- ADimethyl ether
- ✓Diethyl ether
- CMethyl alcohol
- DEthyl alcohol
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Diethyl ether
b
(b) $2{C_2}{H_5}Br + \mathop {A{g_2}O}\limits_{{\rm{Dry}}} \to {C_2}{H_5} - O - {C_2}{H_5} + 2AgBr$
(b) $2{C_2}{H_5}Br + \mathop {A{g_2}O}\limits_{{\rm{Dry}}} \to {C_2}{H_5} - O - {C_2}{H_5} + 2AgBr$
If we take moist $A{g_2}O$ then alcohol is formed
$A{g_2}O + {H_2}O \to 2AgOH$
${C_2}{H_5}Br + AgOH \to {C_2}{H_5}OH + AgBr$
