Question

Write the balanced chemical equation for monochloroethane is hydrolysed with aqueous KOH

Answer 1

The balanced chemical when monochloroethane $\left({\mathrm{C}}_2{\mathrm{H}}_5\mathrm{Cl}\right)$ is hydrolysed with aqueous $KOH$is as follows.

$\underset{\mathrm{monochloroethane}}{{\mathrm{C}}_2{\mathrm{H}}_5\mathrm{Cl}\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Potassium}\mathrm{hydroxide}}{\mathrm{KOH}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)}\to \underset{\mathrm{Ethane}}{{\mathrm{C}}_2{\mathrm{H}}_6}+\underset{\mathrm{Potasssium}\mathrm{chloride}}{\mathrm{KCl}}+\underset{\mathrm{Water}}{{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}}$
