Q. For the preparation of chloroethane,

$H Cl$ gas is passed through ethanol

Ethanol is treated with thionyl chloride in the presence of dimethyl amine or pyridine

Ethyl sulphide is treated with hydrogen chloride

Any of the above methods can be employed

$C_{2} H_{5} O H SOC l_{2} C_{2} H_{5} Cl + S O_{2} + H Cl$
a. $H Cl$ bond is strong, no reaction
c. $H Cl$ bond is strong, no reaction
