The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the reactions of C2H5Br (ethyl bromide) with aqueous KOH and alcoholic KOH, we will analyze each reaction step by step. ### Step 1: Reaction with Aqueous KOH When ethyl bromide (C2H5Br) reacts with aqueous KOH, the primary mechanism involved is nucleophilic substitution (S_N2 mechanism). 1. **Nucleophilic Attack**: The hydroxide ion (OH⁻) from KOH acts as a nucleophile and attacks the carbon atom bonded to the bromine atom (Br). 2. **Formation of Product**: The bromine atom is displaced, and the product formed is ethanol (C2H5OH). **Chemical Equation**: \[ \text{C2H5Br} + \text{KOH (aq)} \rightarrow \text{C2H5OH} + \text{KBr} \] ### Step 2: Reaction with Alcoholic KOH When ethyl bromide reacts with alcoholic KOH, the primary mechanism involved is elimination (E2 mechanism). 1. **Elimination Reaction**: The alcoholic KOH promotes the removal of a hydrogen atom from the β-carbon (the carbon adjacent to the one bonded to Br) while simultaneously removing the bromine atom. 2. **Formation of Product**: The product formed is ethylene (C2H4) along with water. **Chemical Equation**: \[ \text{C2H5Br} + \text{KOH (alc)} \rightarrow \text{C2H4} + \text{HBr} + \text{KOH} \] ### Summary of Products - **Product I (from aqueous KOH)**: Ethanol (C2H5OH) - **Product II (from alcoholic KOH)**: Ethylene (C2H4) ### Conclusion The correct statement regarding the products formed is: 1. Product I is obtained by a substitution reaction (nucleophilic substitution). 2. Product II is obtained by an elimination reaction.
