       an alkyl halide reacts with silver nitrate in a solvent to give
       diethyl ether and a white ppt. identify the compound and the
       solvent. this question is worth +2

       Not very sure, but gonna give it a try...
       [spoiler]
       Looks like the solvent might be EtOH; then AgNO3 reacts with
       Et-Cl to give CH3CH2+, which gets attacked by EtOH to give
       EtOEt.
       So the compound might be CH3CH2Cl, and the solvent ethanol...
