The reaction of ethanol ( CH3?CH2?OH) with aqueous I?in the presence of H+ions produces the corresponding othyt halide (CH3?CH2?I) and reachos completion: CH3?CH2?OH(l)+I?(aq)?CH3?CH2?I(l)+H2?O(l) However, the reaction of ethand with aqueous I?does not procoed: CH3?CH2?OH(l)+I?(aq)? no reaction Which of the following statements are correct with respect to these reactions? Check all that apply. Vlew Avallable Hint(a) OH?is substituted by I?. The leaving group is OH?, not H2?O. OH?becomes a good leaving group when protonated. H+does not assist in making the C - O bond more polar.
