Answer 2

Conversion of ethanoic acid to benzene is a multi step process. The mechanism is as follows

CH3COOH + NaOH → CH3COONa

CH3COONa (NaOH + CaO), Heat →  CH4 + Na2CO3

CH4 + Br2 Heat → CH3Br

2CH3Br + 2 Na (Dry ether) → CH3-CH3

CH3-CH3 + Br2 (Heat) → CH3 -CH2 -Br

CH3 -CH2 -Br + Alc.KOH → CH2=CH2

CH2=CH2 + Br2/CCl4 → CHBr=CHBr

CHBr =CHBr + Alc.KOH → CH≡CH

3CH≡CH (Reduction) → C6H6 (Benzene)
