Answer 1

that's the answer hope it helps you if you liked it make it as brainlist please

Answer 2

Answer: The conversion is given below.

Explanation:

To convert benzene to n-propyl benzene, we follow some steps:

Step 1: Conversion of benzene to 1-phenyl propanone

When benzene is reacted with propanoyl chloride in the presence of aluminium chloride, it undergoes Friedel-Crafts acylation to produce 1-phenyl propanone as a product.

Step 2: Conversion of 1-phenyl propanone to n-propyl benzene

When 1-phenyl propanone is reacted with zinc-mercury amalgam in the presence of concentrated hydrochloric acid, it leads to the formation of n-propyl benzene.

The reactions for the conversions are attached in the image below.
