Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Silver nitrite, being a salt of nitrous acid, occurs in two tautomeric forms.

In other words, `NO_(2)^(-)` ions from `AgNO_(2)^(-)` may exist in two tautomeric froms `-O-N = O`(Nitrite ion) forming alkyl nitrities and (nitro group) forming nitroalkanes.
`2C_(2)H_(5)Br+2AgNO_(2) rarrC_(2)H_(5)NO_(2) + C_(2)H_(5)ONO + 2AgBr`
