List-I Reaction

List-II Type of reaction

(A) Hydrolysis of Ethyl Chloride

(I) Substitution reaction

(B) 2-Propanol is treated with Conc.Sulphuric acid

(IV) Elimination reaction

(C) Reaction of HCN with Acetone

(II) Addition reaction

(D) Treatment of acetamide with NaOH and $Br_2$

(III) Degradation reaction

Hydrolysis of Ethyl Chloride

C₂H₅Cl + OH⁻ → C₂H₅OH + Cl⁻

Here, the Cl atom is replaced by OH⁻, so this is a substitution reaction.

Thus,

Hydrolysis of Ethyl Chloride → Substitution reaction (I)

2-Propanol with Concentrated H₂SO₄

When 2-propanol is heated with concentrated sulphuric acid, dehydration occurs forming propene.

CH₃–CHOH–CH₃ → CH₃–CH=CH₂ + H₂O

Since a molecule of water is removed, this is an elimination reaction.

Thus,

2-Propanol + Conc. H₂SO₄ → Elimination reaction (IV)

Reaction of HCN with Acetone

Acetone reacts with HCN to form cyanohydrin.

(CH₃)₂CO + HCN → (CH₃)₂C(OH)CN

Here, HCN adds across the C=O double bond, so it is an addition reaction.

Thus,

HCN + Acetone → Addition reaction (II)

Acetamide with NaOH and Br₂

Acetamide reacts with bromine and NaOH in Hofmann bromamide reaction, producing a primary amine with one carbon less.

CH₃CONH₂ → CH₃NH₂

Since the carbon chain length decreases, this is a degradation reaction.

Thus,

Acetamide + NaOH + Br₂ → Degradation reaction (III)
