Explanation :

It is a nucleophillic substitution reaction in which the ethyl chloride reacts with water to give ethyl alcohol as a product.

It is a single step reaction in which hydroxide ion which is a nucleophile donates its electron pair to an electron deficient carbon of ethyl chloride and forming a product as ethyl alcohol.

The nucleophillic substitution reaction are shown below.
