A carbon compound A forms B with sodium ...

A carbon compound A forms B with sodium metal and again A forms C with `PCl_(5)` but B and C form diethylether. Therefore A, B & C are -

A

`C_(2)H_(5)OH, C_(2)H_(5) ONa, C_(2)H_(5)Cl`

B

`C_(2)H_(5)Cl, C_(2)H_(5) ONa, C_(2)H_(5) OH`

C

`C_(2)H_(5)OH, C_(2)H_(6) , C_(2)H_(5)Cl`

D

`C_(2)H_(5)OH, C_(2)H_(5) Cl, C_(2)H_(5)ONa`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to identify the compounds A, B, and C based on the given reactions and their properties. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Compound A**: - The question states that compound A reacts with sodium metal to form compound B. A common reaction of alcohols with sodium metal is the formation of sodium alkoxide. - Let's assume A is ethanol (C2H5OH). 2. **Reaction of A with Sodium**: - When ethanol (C2H5OH) reacts with sodium (Na), it forms sodium ethoxide (C2H5ONa) and hydrogen gas (H2): \[ 2 \text{C2H5OH} + 2 \text{Na} \rightarrow 2 \text{C2H5ONa} + \text{H2} \] - Here, sodium ethoxide (C2H5ONa) is compound B. 3. **Identify Compound C**: - The question also states that A reacts with PCl5 to form compound C. When ethanol reacts with phosphorus pentachloride (PCl5), it undergoes nucleophilic substitution where the hydroxyl group (OH) is replaced by a chlorine atom (Cl). - The reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{C2H5OH} + \text{PCl5} \rightarrow \text{C2H5Cl} + \text{POCl3} + \text{HCl} \] - Here, C2H5Cl is compound C. 4. **Formation of Diethyl Ether**: - The problem states that compounds B and C react to form diethyl ether (C2H5-O-C2H5). - The reaction between sodium ethoxide (B) and ethyl chloride (C) can be represented as: \[ \text{C2H5ONa} + \text{C2H5Cl} \rightarrow \text{C2H5-O-C2H5} + \text{NaCl} \] - This reaction is known as Williamson's synthesis, which produces diethyl ether. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, we have identified: - **A**: Ethanol (C2H5OH) - **B**: Sodium ethoxide (C2H5ONa) - **C**: Ethyl chloride (C2H5Cl) ### Final Answer: - A = Ethanol (C2H5OH) - B = Sodium ethoxide (C2H5ONa) - C = Ethyl chloride (C2H5Cl)
