Chapter 5, Problem 46DSP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The role of ethanol in the given reaction is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
A catalyst is a species which itself remains unaltered in the reaction. It only reduces the activation energy and
A reactive intermediate is a species which is produced in one elementary step and consumed in in the other step. It is neither a reactant nor a product in the overall reaction.
Bronsted acids are species which have the capacity to donate a proton.
Bronsted bases are species which have the capacity to accept a proton.

- The conversion of alcohols into alkyl halides by reaction with hydrogen halides is an example of a Nucleophilic Substitution Reaction. This kind of reaction can proceed by two different mechanisms depending on the structure of alcohol substrates used.
