Answer #1

CHo Cl + KI Water (2H5 It kce Both are water soluble So MsI tkce Hill + kl acetone inschuble in acetone

I have taken the same set of reactant in two solvents

In water, the alkyl halide and KI both are soluble so they can react back to give the reactants again as the reaction is in equilibrium.

So to shift the equilibrium towards right or product side, there is a need to remove atleast one of the product. This is achieved by removing KCl by taking acetone as solvent. In acetone, KCl is insoluble hence will precipitate out.
