Vedclass · Answer

(B) The reaction of $1,2$-dibromoethane $(BrCH_2-CH_2Br)$ with zinc dust in an alcoholic solution leads to a dehalogenation reaction. In this reaction,zinc removes two bromine atoms from adjacent carbon atoms,resulting in the formation of a double bond between them. The chemical equation is: $BrCH_2-CH_2Br + Zn \rightarrow CH_2=CH_2 + ZnBr_2$. Thus,the product obtained is ethene $(CH_2=CH_2)$.
