Achemist combines iodoethane (ch3ch2i with sodium hydroxide (naoh in an aqueous solution at 100°c. which change to the reaction will least affect the organic product that forms?

The replacing of sodium hydroxide with potassium hydroxide (KOH) to the reaction will least affect the organic product that forms.

Potassium hydroxide is an inorganic compound with the formula KOH, and is commonly called caustic potash. Along with sodium hydroxide, this colorless solid is a prototypical strong base.

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
