The organic product formed when methyl bromide reacts with potassium ethoxide is methoxyethane.

The reaction of methyl bromide reacts with potassium ethoxide is an SN2 reaction. The bromide ion departs as the ethoxide ion attacks the substrate simultaneously. The SN2 mechanism involved in the reaction leads to inversion pf configuration.

The organic product formed by the reaction is methoxymethane. The structure of the molecule is shown in the image attached to this answer.
