Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To write the mechanism for the reaction of ethanol (CH₃CH₂OH) with hydrobromic acid (HBr) to form bromoethane (CH₃CH₂Br) and water (H₂O), we can break it down into several key steps: ### Step 1: Protonation of Ethanol Ethanol (CH₃CH₂OH) has a lone pair of electrons on the oxygen atom. When HBr is added, the hydrogen ion (H⁺) from HBr will protonate the oxygen atom of ethanol. This step increases the electrophilicity of the ethanol. **Reaction:** \[ \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{OH} + \text{H}^+ \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{OH}_2^+ \] ...
