The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given reactions represents an SN (nucleophilic substitution) reaction, we will analyze each reaction step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the Reactions We have four reactions to analyze: 1. **C2H5Cl + NaSC2H5** 2. **C2H5Cl + NaOH** 3. **C2H5Cl + AgCN** 4. **C2H5Cl + H2** ### Step 2: Analyze Each Reaction #### Reaction 1: C2H5Cl + NaSC2H5 - **Description**: Ethyl chloride (C2H5Cl) reacts with sodium ethyl mercaptide (NaSC2H5). - **Mechanism**: The chloride ion (Cl-) is replaced by the ethyl mercaptide group (SC2H5). - **Conclusion**: This is a nucleophilic substitution reaction (SN). #### Reaction 2: C2H5Cl + NaOH - **Description**: Ethyl chloride reacts with sodium hydroxide (NaOH). - **Mechanism**: The hydroxyl ion (OH-) replaces the chloride ion (Cl-). - **Conclusion**: This is also a nucleophilic substitution reaction (SN). #### Reaction 3: C2H5Cl + AgCN - **Description**: Ethyl chloride reacts with silver cyanide (AgCN). - **Mechanism**: The cyanide ion (CN-) replaces the chloride ion (Cl-). - **Conclusion**: This is another nucleophilic substitution reaction (SN). #### Reaction 4: C2H5Cl + H2 - **Description**: Ethyl chloride reacts with hydrogen (H2). - **Mechanism**: This reaction involves the reduction of ethyl chloride to ethane (C2H6) and hydrochloric acid (HCl). - **Conclusion**: This is not a nucleophilic substitution reaction; it is a reduction reaction (hydrogenolysis). ### Step 3: Final Conclusion The reactions that represent SN reactions are: 1. C2H5Cl + NaSC2H5 2. C2H5Cl + NaOH 3. C2H5Cl + AgCN The reaction that does not represent an SN reaction is: 4. C2H5Cl + H2 ### Summary The correct options that represent SN reactions are the first three reactions. ---
