Question

ch3ch2br+na complete the reaction

Answer 1

the reactant is 2CH3CH2Na + Br2

Answer 2

When 1-bromoethane ( CH$_{3}$CH$_{2}$Br ) is reacted with sodium ( Na ) in the presence of dry ether , butane ( CH$_{3}$CH$_{2}$CH$_{2}$CH$_{3}$ ) is formed .

The chemical reaction is as follows -

2 CH$_{3}$CH$_{2}$Br + 2 Na  →  CH$_{3}$CH$_{2}$CH$_{2}$CH$_{3}$ + NaBr

• This reaction is known as the Wurtz reaction .

• At room temperature and atmospheric pressure , Butane exists as a gas .
• The molar mass of Butane ( CH$_{3}$CH$_{2}$CH$_{2}$CH$_{3}$ ) is 58.12 g / mol .
