Answer:
Ethyl chloride is prepared from ethylene by reaction with hydrogen chloride in the presence of aluminum chloride as a catalyst. Ethyl chloride boils at 12.3 °C (54.1 °F) and freezes at −138.7 °C (−217.7 °F); it dissolves freely in alcohol, ether, and other organic solvents but only slightly in water.
