is classified as :
(a) electrophilic substitution
(b) nucleophilic substitution
(c) elimination
(d) addition
CH3CH2I + KOH(aq) → CH3CH2OH + KI
It is an example of nucleophilic substitution reaction. The hydroxyl group of KOH (OH-) with a lone pair acts as a nucleophile and substitutes iodide ion in CH3CH2I to form ethanol.
