Convert the ethyl bromide into Grignard's reagent, ethyl magnesium bromide then allow to react with dry ice (Solid carbon dioxide) then acidic hydrolysis produces the propionic acid.
CH3-Br + Mg --- anhydrous ether---> CH3-CH2-Mg-Br
CH3-CH2-Mg-Br + CO2 ----H+/H2O---> CH3-CH2-COOH

Is sodium bromide a weak or strong acid?
sodium bromide is not an acid or base it is a solid neutral salt highly soluble in water.
What acid and base are neutralized to give a sodium bromide salt?
Sodium Bromide is produced from the reaction of Hydrobromic acid and sodium hydroxide.
Is bromide an acid or base?
Bromide is not, in an of itself, an acid or a base. Bromide is capable of combining with an H+ ion and then becomes Hydrobromic Acid. Due to Bromine's position on the periodic table it is likely to form acids, not bases.
What alcohol and acid make up ethyl acetate?
