AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the reaction of ethyl bromide with alcoholic KCN and AgCN, and how these reagents lead to the formation of different products with the same molecular formula. Let's break down the steps: ### Step 1: Understanding the Reactants Ethyl bromide (C2H5Br) is an alkyl halide. When it reacts with alcoholic KCN (potassium cyanide), it can undergo nucleophilic substitution. KCN dissociates into K⁺ and CN⁻ ions in solution. **Hint:** Identify the structure of ethyl bromide and the dissociation of KCN into its ions. ### Step 2: Nucleophilic Attack ...
