Q. Alkyl halide is converted into alcohol by using

Alcohols Phenols and Ethers

Solution:

Alkyl halide can be converted into alcohols by refluxing with moist silver oxide i.e.,
$Ag_2O + H_2O \rightarrow 2AgOH$
$\underset{\text{Alkyl}}{R-X} + AgOH \rightarrow \underset{\text{Alcohol}}{R-OH} + Ag - X$
