Solution
The correct option is CCH3Br+AgF⟶CH3F+AgBr When alkyl bromide or iodide are treated with metallic fluorides like AgF,HgF2, etc., they formed alkyl fluoride. This reaction is called Swarts reaction and is an important method for the preparation of fluoroalkanes.
Thus, among the given reactions, Swarts reaction is:
CH3Br+AgF→CH3F+AgBr
Note: Swart's reaction is a type of halogen exchange reaction.
