describe the following nucleophilic substitution reactions: (a) the reaction with NaOH(aq) and heat to produce an alcohol (b) the reaction with KCN in ethanol and heat to produce a nitrile (c) the reaction with \( NH_3 \) in ethanol heated under pressure to produce an amine (d) the reaction with aqueous silver nitrate in ethanol as a method of identifying the halogen present as exemplified by bromoethane
deduce the presence of a CH\(_3\)CH(OH)- group in an alcohol, CH\(_3\)CH(OH)-R, from its reaction with alkaline I\(_2\)(aq) to form a yellow precipitate of tri-lodomethane and an ion, \( RCO_2^-\)
