Answer:
1. In a process for the preparation of ethyl chloride by reaction of ethanol and hydrogen chloride with the aid of zinc chloride as a cat alyst, the improvement which consists in bringing the ethanol and the hydrogen chloride in mutual contact with an aqueous zinc chloride solution having a zinc chloride concentration
2. 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.
