Methyl bromide is converted into ethane by heating it in ether medium with

  • A
    $Al$
  • B
    $\mathrm{Zn}$
  • Correct answer
    C
    $\mathrm{Na}$
  • D
    $\mathrm{Cu}$

Solution

Methyl bromide is converted into ethane by heating, it is ether medium with $\mathrm{Na}$. $2 \mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{Br}+\underset{\text { Methyl bromide }}{2 \mathrm{Na}} \longrightarrow \mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CH}_{3}+2 \mathrm{NaBr}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
