Question

what is the action of Na metal on ethyl bromide​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: reaction of alkyl halide with sodium metal in the presence of dry weather results in formation of higher alkynes. when we treatethyl Bromide made with sodium metal andethyl alcohol in the presence of dry Ether it gives out butane and sodium chloride as a product.

Answer 2

On treating Na metal on ethyl bromide butane is produced.

• On treating alkyl bromide with Na metal in the presence of dry ether higher alkanes are produced along with sodium bromide.
• When ethyl bromide is treated with Na metal in the presence of dry ether it produces higher alkane butane along with sodium bromide.
• The reaction can be written as follows-
• $2C_2H_5Br+2Na\rightarrow C_4H_{10}+2NaBr$.
