Vedclass · Answer

(C) The reaction of ethyl chloride $(CH_3CH_2Cl)$ with aqueous potassium hydroxide $(KOH_{(aq)})$ is a nucleophilic substitution reaction ($S_N2$ mechanism).$CH_3CH_2Cl + KOH_{(aq)} 	o CH_3CH_2OH + KCl$The product formed is ethanol $(CH_3CH_2OH)$.In ethanol,both carbon atoms are bonded to four other atoms (single bonds),which corresponds to $sp^3$ hybridization.

The hybridization state of carbon atoms in the product formed by the reaction of ethyl chloride with aqueous potassium hydroxide is
