Which of the following are the substitution products of the reaction shown below? CH₃CH₂Br + ^-OH → ? A)CH₃CH₂BrH⁺ + O^- B)HOCH₂CH₂Br C)CH₃CH₂OH + Br^- D)CH₂ CH₂ + Br^- + H₂O E)CH₂ CHBr + H₂O

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction shown involves a substitution of a bromine atom with a hydroxyl group. Therefore, the only possible substitution products are a compound with an OH group replacing the Br atom (option C), and a compound with H and Br substituting for the original Br atom (option E). Option A and D involve additional products that are not possible from the given reaction. Option B does not involve any substitution products.
