wurtz reaction can be used to prepare higher hydrocarbons. how many product may be formed by reaction of ethyl iodide and methyl iodide with sodium? a) 1 b) 2 c)3 d)4

b) 2

Explanation:

The Wurtz reaction is a reaction in which the hydrocarbon chain in lengthened by reaction two alkyl halides with sodium. The reaction is carried out in dry ether.

When methyl iodide reacts with  ethyl iodide, two products are formed; the hydrocarbon product and sodium iodide.

                              Na/Ether

CH3CH2I + CH3I > CH3CH2CH3 + 2NaI

on passing the small ampere of electric current through the tube made of ar and hg of cfl generates uv rays which excites the fluorescent and thus emits the high radiation by consumption of just 5- 12 w in comparison to incandescent light which requires more power such as around 40 - 55 w to lighten.

moreover the life span of fluorescent or cfl is around 8000 h whereas the life span of incandescent is around 1200 h

hence, the building installed with incandescent lights bears more electricity bill.
