MCQ
The compound formed when ethyl bromide is heated with dry silver oxide is
  • A
    Dimethyl ether
  • Diethyl ether
  • C
    Methyl alcohol
  • D
    Ethyl alcohol

Answer

Correct option: B.
Diethyl ether
b
(b) $2{C_2}{H_5}Br + \mathop {A{g_2}O}\limits_{{\rm{Dry}}} \to {C_2}{H_5} - O - {C_2}{H_5} + 2AgBr$

If we take moist $A{g_2}O$ then alcohol is formed

$A{g_2}O + {H_2}O \to 2AgOH$

${C_2}{H_5}Br + AgOH \to {C_2}{H_5}OH + AgBr$
