The compound A on treatment with Na gives B, and with `PCl_(5)` gives C. B and C react together to give diethyl ether. A, B and C are in the order:

A

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

B

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

C

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

D

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

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to identify the compounds A, B, and C based on the reactions described. Let's break down the steps: ### Step 1: Identify Compound A - **Observation**: Compound A reacts with sodium (Na) and PCl5. - **Analysis**: PCl5 is known to chlorinate alcohols. Therefore, A is likely an alcohol. - **Conclusion**: A can be ethanol (C2H5OH). ### Step 2: Identify Compound B - **Observation**: When A (ethanol) reacts with sodium, it forms compound B. - **Analysis**: The reaction of an alcohol with sodium produces an alkoxide and hydrogen gas. Thus, B is sodium ethoxide (C2H5O-Na+). - **Conclusion**: B is sodium ethoxide (C2H5O-Na+). ### Step 3: Identify Compound C - **Observation**: When A (ethanol) reacts with PCl5, it produces compound C. - **Analysis**: The chlorination of ethanol by PCl5 results in the formation of ethyl chloride (C2H5Cl). - **Conclusion**: C is ethyl chloride (C2H5Cl). ### Step 4: Confirm the Reaction between B and C - **Observation**: B (sodium ethoxide) and C (ethyl chloride) react together to form diethyl ether. - **Analysis**: The reaction between an alkoxide (B) and an alkyl halide (C) leads to ether formation. In this case, sodium ethoxide reacts with ethyl chloride to form diethyl ether (C2H5-O-C2H5). - **Conclusion**: The reaction confirms the identities of B and C. ### Final Sequence - A: Ethanol (C2H5OH) - B: Sodium ethoxide (C2H5O-Na+) - C: Ethyl chloride (C2H5Cl) Thus, the order of A, B, and C is: - A: Ethanol - B: Sodium ethoxide - C: Ethyl chloride
