Answer 2

Explanation:

Heating of halo-alkane with sodium alkoxide gives ether.

$RO^-Na^++R'X\rightarrow ROR'+NaX$

So, when the ethyl chloride is treated with sodium methoxide it will give methoxy ethane or ethyl methyl ether.

$CH_3OH+NaOH\rightarrow CH_3O^-Na^++H_2O$

$CH_3O^-Na^++CH_3CH_2Cl\rightarrow CH_3OC_2H_5+NaCl$
