The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following reactions give ether, we will analyze each reaction step by step. ### Step 1: Reaction with Sodium Ethoxide and Alkyl Halide 1. **Identify the reactants**: Sodium ethoxide (CH3CH2O^-Na^+) and ethyl iodide (CH3CH2I). 2. **Mechanism**: This reaction follows the SN2 mechanism. 3. **Nucleophilic attack**: The ethoxide ion (CH3CH2O^-) attacks the electrophilic carbon in ethyl iodide (CH3CH2I), resulting in the formation of diethyl ether (CH3CH2OCH2CH3) and sodium iodide (NaI). 4. **Product**: The product formed is diethyl ether. ### Step 2: Reaction of Alcohol in Acidic Medium 1. **Identify the reactants**: Ethanol (CH3CH2OH) and H^+ (acid). 2. **Protonation**: The alcohol is protonated to form protonated ethanol (CH3CH2OH2^+). 3. **Mechanism**: This reaction also follows the SN2 mechanism. 4. **Nucleophilic attack**: Another molecule of ethanol acts as a nucleophile and attacks the protonated ethanol, leading to the formation of diethyl ether (CH3CH2OCH2CH3) and water. 5. **Product**: The product formed is diethyl ether. ### Step 3: Reaction with Dry Silver Oxide 1. **Identify the reactants**: Ethyl iodide (CH3CH2I) and dry silver oxide (Ag2O). 2. **Mechanism**: On heating, the silver oxide facilitates the elimination of iodine and formation of ether. 3. **Nucleophilic attack**: The ethyl group reacts with another ethyl iodide to form diethyl ether (CH3CH2OCH2CH3) and silver iodide (AgI). 4. **Product**: The product formed is diethyl ether. ### Conclusion After analyzing all three reactions, we find that all of them produce ether. Therefore, the answer is that all of the above reactions give ether. ### Final Answer **All of the above reactions give ether.** ---
