(i). But-1-ene is formed as the product as a result of dehydrohalogention.
`underset("n-butyl chloride")(CH_(3)-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-Cl)+KOH(alc)tounderset("But-1-ene")(CH_(3)-CH_(2)-CH=CH_(2))+KCl+H_(2)O`
(ii).
(ii). Phenyl magnesium bromide (grignard reagent) is formed as a result of the reaction.
(iii). Chlorobenzene will not get hydrolysed on boiling with NaOH. No product will be formed. For details,
(iv). Ethyl alcohol is formed as the product.
`underset("Ethyl chloride")(CH_(3)-CH_(2)-)Cl+KOH(aq)tounderset("Ethyl alcohol")(CH_(3)-CH_(2)-OH)+KCl+H_(2)O`
(v). Ehtane is formed as a result of Wurtz reaction.
`underset("Methyl bromide")(CH_(3)-Br)+2Na+Br-CH_(3)overset("Dry ether")tounderset("Ethane")(CH_(3)-CH_(3))+2NaBr`
(vi). Methyl cyanide is formed
`underset("Methyl chloride")(CH_(3)-Cl)+KCNunderset(("ethanol"))overset(KCN)tounderset(("Methyl cyanide"))underset("Acetonitrile")(CH_(3)-C-=N+)KCl`
