Ethyl iodide when heated with sodium in dry ether gives pure

A

`C_(4)H_(10)`

B

`C_(2)H_(6)`

C

`C_(3)H_(8)`

D

`C_(2)H_(5)OH`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
It is Wurtz reaction.
`C_(2)H_(5)l+2Na+C_(2)H_(5)l overset("Dry ether")rarr underset("Butane")(C_(2)-H_(5)-C_(2)H_(5))+"2Nal"`
So, `C_(4)H_(10)` is formed.
