Question : 5 of 16
Marks: +1, -0
Consider the following reaction and identify A and B:
CH3Cl+NaIdry acetoneA+B
Solution:  
This is the Finkelstein reaction.
Sodium iodide (NaI) reacts with methyl chloride (CH3Cl).
Iodide ion (I) replaces chloride (Cl).
Dry acetone is used because NaCl is insoluble in acetone, so it precipitates out, driving the reaction forward.
Products:
A = CH3I (methyl iodide)
B = NaCl (precipitate)
