Solution

Dear student,

Dehydrohalogenation reaction is a process like decomposition reaction in which branched series of haloalkanes are broken to form alkene and alkynes.

Remember here the most important reagent is used which is KOH.

C₂H₅Cl + KOH = C₂H₄ + H₂O + KCl

C₂H₅Br + KOH = C₂H₄+ H₂O + KBr

Regards
