Answer 2

Conversion of methyl chloride into methyl fluoride is known as Swarts Reaction.

Explanation:

• When alkyl chloride or alkyl bromide reacts with transition metal fluorides [such as $AsF_3$, $SbF_3$, AgF, $Hg_2F_2$, $CoF_2$ etc], alkyl fluoride is obtained , then the reaction is called Swarts reaction .
• Unlike Finkelstein reaction , Swarts reaction is also named as halogen or halide ion exchange reaction . Swarts reaction follow $SN_2$ reaction mechanism .
• That is nucleophilic substitution bi molecular . F – acts as a nucleophile in this reaction.
• Swarts reaction is very important reaction to prepare alkyl fluoride indirectly .
• If we use direct method like other halogen to prepare fluoro alkane, fluorine attack the alkane to form carbon and HF .
• Because $F_2$ is strong electronegative and very active . So alkyl fluoride is not available .
