Given one of the starting materials and end product for each of the following reactions, show all reactants, reaction conditions in brackets (where known) and products.
fluoroethane from ethanol
HF + CH3C2OH => CH3C2F + H2O
Can you tell me what type of reaction this is? (it's a substitution and the ethanol is a ______ molecule)
Sidenote:Technically Fluorine is hard to control and over reactive and iodine is under reactive so in practical everyday work, one would not do a reaction with Fluorine but rather with Chlorine or Bromine.
