The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to identify the compounds A, B, and C based on the reactions described. ### Step 1: Identify Compound A The question states that compound A reacts with sodium (Na) to give compound B. A common reaction of alcohols with sodium is the formation of alkoxide ions. The only alcohol among the options that fits this description is ethanol (C₂H₅OH). **Hint:** Look for an alcohol that can react with sodium to form an alkoxide. ### Step 2: Determine Compound B When ethanol (C₂H₅OH) reacts with sodium, it forms sodium ethoxide (C₂H₅ONa). Thus, compound B is C₂H₅ONa. **Hint:** Remember that alcohols react with sodium to produce alkoxides. ### Step 3: Identify Compound C Next, we need to determine what compound C is when compound A (ethanol) reacts with phosphorus pentachloride (PCl₅). The reaction of alcohols with PCl₅ typically results in the formation of alkyl chlorides. Therefore, when ethanol reacts with PCl₅, it produces ethyl chloride (C₂H₅Cl). **Hint:** Consider the reaction of alcohols with PCl₅, which usually yields alkyl chlorides. ### Step 4: Verify the Reaction Between B and C Now we know: - A = C₂H₅OH (ethanol) - B = C₂H₅ONa (sodium ethoxide) - C = C₂H₅Cl (ethyl chloride) The question states that B and C react together to give diethyl ether (C₂H₅OC₂H₅). This reaction is indeed possible through an SN2 mechanism where sodium ethoxide reacts with ethyl chloride to form diethyl ether. **Hint:** Check the compatibility of the products formed when B and C react. ### Conclusion Now we can summarize the order of compounds A, B, and C: - A = C₂H₅OH (ethanol) - B = C₂H₅ONa (sodium ethoxide) - C = C₂H₅Cl (ethyl chloride) Thus, the correct order is: - (A) C₂H₅OH - (B) C₂H₅ONa - (C) C₂H₅Cl From the options provided, the correct answer is: **(d) C₂H₅OH, C₂H₅ONa, C₂H₅Cl.** ### Final Answer: **(d) C₂H₅OH, C₂H₅ONa, C₂H₅Cl.**

To solve the problem step by step, we need to identify the compounds A, B, and C based on the reactions described. ### Step 1: Identify Compound A The question states that compound A reacts with sodium (Na) to give compound B. A common reaction of alcohols with sodium is the formation of alkoxide ions. The only alcohol among the options that fits this description is ethanol (C₂H₅OH). **Hint:** Look for an alcohol that can react with sodium to form an alkoxide. ### Step 2: Determine Compound B ...
