The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we will analyze the reaction sequence step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the initial reactant The initial reactant is ethylene (CH₂=CH₂), which is an alkene. ### Step 2: Reaction with HBr When ethylene reacts with HBr in the presence of CCl₄ (carbon tetrachloride), the reaction proceeds via electrophilic addition. The H⁺ ion from HBr will add to one of the carbon atoms of the double bond, forming a carbocation. - **Carbocation formation**: \[ \text{CH}_2=CH_2 + HBr \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{C}^+\text{H}_2 + Br^- \] Here, we have formed a carbocation (CH₃-CH₂⁺). ### Step 3: Nucleophilic attack by Br⁻ The bromide ion (Br⁻) will then attack the carbocation, resulting in the formation of bromoethane. - **Formation of B**: \[ \text{CH}_3\text{C}^+\text{H}_2 + Br^- \rightarrow \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{Br} \] Thus, B is bromoethane (C₂H₅Br). ### Step 4: Reaction with C₂H₅ONa Next, bromoethane (C₂H₅Br) reacts with sodium ethoxide (C₂H₅ONa). The ethoxide ion (C₂H₅O⁻) acts as a nucleophile and attacks the carbon atom bonded to bromine. - **Nucleophilic substitution**: \[ \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{Br} + \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{O}^- \rightarrow \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{O}\text{C}_2\text{H}_5 + Br^- \] This leads to the formation of ethoxyethane (C₂H₅O-C₂H₅). ### Conclusion Thus, the final answer is that B is bromoethane (C₂H₅Br). ---
