Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the given reactions step by step, we will identify the compounds A and B in both parts of the reaction. ### Part (i): 1. **Identify the Reactant**: The reactant is Bromoethane (C₂H₅Br). 2. **Reaction with Alcoholic KOH**: When Bromoethane reacts with alcoholic KOH, an elimination reaction occurs. In this reaction, HBr is eliminated (dehydrohalogenation), resulting in the formation of an alkene. 3. **Formation of Product A**: The elimination of HBr from Bromoethane leads to the formation of Ethene (C₂H₄). Therefore, A = C₂H₄ (Ethene). 4. **Reaction with Br₂**: Ethene (A) then reacts with bromine (Br₂). This is an addition reaction where bromine adds across the double bond. 5. **Formation of Product B**: The addition of Br₂ to Ethene results in the formation of 1,2-Dibromoethane (C₂H₄Br₂). Therefore, B = C₂H₄Br₂ (1,2-Dibromoethane). ...
