Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When ethyl bromide and n - propyl bromide react with sodium in dry ether solvent, butane, pentane and hexane are formed.
`C_(2)H_(5)Br+2Na+BrC_(3)H_(7)overset(" Dry ")underset(" ether ")rarr NaBr`
`underset("Butane")(C_(2)H_(5)-C_(2)H_(5))+ underset("Pentane")(C_(2)H_(5)-C_(3)H_(7))+underset("Hexane")(C_(3)H_(7)-C_(3)H_(7))`
