Answer 2

Aim: Conversion of Ethanol into Ethyl Chloride.

Chemicals required: Ethanol, Hydrochloric acid and Zinc Chloride

General reaction: $C_{2}H_{5}OH$ + $HCl$ + (Zinc Chloride) ⇒ $C_{2}H_{5}Cl$ + $H_{2}$

• Here, Zinc Chloride is used as a catalyst.

Note: There is an alternate pathway to get to Ethyl Chloride from Ethanol. It includes the preparation of Ethyl Chloride from Ethanol with Thionyl Chloride. This reaction is carried out in the presence of pyridine.
