Question

bromoethane is heated with sodium metal in presence of
dry ether​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Explanation: Wurtz reaction: Reaction of alkyl halide with sodium metal in the presence of the dry ether results in formation of higher alkanes.

Answer 2

Answer:

Propane

Propane is not formed when a mixture of methyl bromide and bromobenzene is heated with sodium metal in the presence of dry Ether.

Two moles of methyl bromide in presence of Na/ether give ethane.

Two moles of bromobenzene in presence of Na/ether give diphenyl.

One mole of methyl bromide and one mole of bromobenzene in presence of Na/ether give toluene.
