Question

The reaction of ethyl bromide with a lead sodium alloy gives ............................

Please give reaction .

Answer 1

C2H5BR+Pb/Na------(C2H5)4Pb +NaBr+ Pb
This is the reaction with alloy.

Answer 2

Hey mate,

● Answer -
Reaction of ethyl bromide with a lead sodium alloy gives *tetraethyl lead*.

● Reaction -
Ethyl bromide reacts with lead-sodium alloy to form tetraethyl lead.
4C2H5Br + Pb + 4Na --> (C2H5)4Pb + 4NaBr

Sodium bromide is formed as byproduct in this reaction.

* Lead-sodium alloy means they are mixed physically but chemically Na & Pb are still independent.

Hope this solved your query.
Thanks for asking..
