The reaction:
`CH_(3)CH_(2)I + KOH(aq)toCH_(3)CH_(2)OH+KI`
is classified as :
(a) electrophilic substitution (b) nucleophilic substitution
(c) elimination (d) addition

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

This is an example of nucleophilic substitution reaction since the nucleophile `I^(-)` is replaced by the nucleophile `OH^(-)` ion. Thus, option (b) is correct.
