When ethyl bromide is heated with silver nitrate the product obtained is:

1. ethyl nitrite
2. ethyl nitrate
3. nitropropane
4. none of the above

Correct answer: ethyl nitrate

Solution

Ethyl bromide undergoes substitution with silver nitrate, where AgBr precipitates out and the nitrate ion attaches to the ethyl group. This gives ethyl nitrate, not a nitrite or a nitro compound.
