Q. Identify A and B in the following reaction $C_{2}H_{5}Cl\ \overset{\ \ \ \ A\ \ \ \ \ }{\rightarrow}\ C_{2}H_{5}OH\ \overset{\ \ \ \ \ \ B\ \ \ \ }{\leftarrow}\ C_{2}H_{5}Cl$
A) A= aqueous KOH; B= AgOH
B) A= alcoholic KOH/ $\mathrm{\Delta}$; B=aqueous NaOH
C) A= aqueous NaOH; B= $AgNO_{2}$
D) $A = \ AgNO_{2};\ B = KNO_{2}$
Explanation
(a)
$C_{2}H_{5}Cl\overset{\ \ \ Aq.KOH\ \ }{\rightarrow}C_{2}H_{5}OH\overset{\ \ \ \ AgOH\ \ }{\leftarrow}C_{2}H_{5}\ Cl$
