Question

When completely dry silver oxide ($Ag_2O$) reacts to completion with an excess of ethyl bromide ($C_2H_5Br$) under heating, exactly $1 	ext{ mole}$ of the symmetric ether product is formed. How many moles of silver bromide ($AgBr$) precipitate are concurrently generated?

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: 2. The balanced chemical equation is . For every one mole of the dialkyl ether formed, the two displaced bromide ions react with the two silver ions from the oxide, precipitating exactly 2 moles of .
