- ✓Iodomethane is heated with moist silver oxide.
- BIodomethane react with sodium in the presence of ether.
- CBoth $A$ and $B.$
- DNone of these.

Answer
Correct option: A.
Iodomethane is heated with moist silver oxide.
Moist Silver oxide
$\mathrm{Ag}_2 \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{AgOH}$
$\mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{I}+\mathrm{AgOH} \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{OH}+\mathrm{AgI}$
Therefore, methanol can be prepared when iodomethane is heated with moist silver oxide.
$\mathrm{Ag}_2 \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{AgOH}$
$\mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{I}+\mathrm{AgOH} \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{OH}+\mathrm{AgI}$
Therefore, methanol can be prepared when iodomethane is heated with moist silver oxide.
