Answer 2

The name of the reactant is Bromo ethane.

• The species which takes part in a reaction is called reactant and the species that formed after the chemical reaction is called products.
• In the above reaction, Bromoethane reacts with Sodium iodide or NaI to form Iodo ethane.
• The balanced reaction is as follows-
• $CH_3CH_2Br+NaI\rightarrow CH_3CH_2I+NaBr$
• Hence here reactant is Bromoethane and the product is Iododthane.
