The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to identify the products (A) and (B) in the given reactions involving RX with AgCN and KCN. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Reactions**: - The first reaction is: \[ RX + AgCN \rightarrow (A) + AgX \] - The second reaction is: \[ RX + KCN \rightarrow (A) + KX \] 2. **Analyzing the First Reaction**: - In the first reaction, RX reacts with AgCN. - AgCN is covalent in nature, meaning it does not dissociate into Ag⁺ and CN⁻ ions. - Therefore, the CN group will directly attach to the R group from RX, leading to the formation of a nitrile. - The product (A) formed here will be RNC (where R is the alkyl or aryl group) and AgX (where X is the halogen from RX). 3. **Analyzing the Second Reaction**: - In the second reaction, RX reacts with KCN. - KCN is ionic in nature, which means it dissociates into K⁺ and CN⁻ ions. - The CN⁻ ion will directly attack the R group from RX, forming a nitrile as well. - The product (A) in this case will also be RCN, and KX will be formed as a byproduct. 4. **Identifying Products (A) and (B)**: - From both reactions, we can conclude that: - Product (A) is RCN (or RNC, depending on the context, but both refer to the same functional group). - Product (B) is AgX from the first reaction and KX from the second reaction, which are the respective salts formed. ### Final Products: - **Product (A)**: RCN (or RNC) - **Product (B)**: AgX and KX ### Conclusion: The answer is that product (A) is RCN and product (B) can be AgX and KX depending on the reaction. ---
