Solution

Preparation of ethanol from Ethyl chloride:
When $1$ mol, of monochloroethane or Ethyl chloride $C_{2} H_{5} O H$ reacts with an alkali base such as sodium hydroxide NaOH, it shows substitution of anions, and Ethanol is produced. Along with ethanol, sodium chloride NaCl is produced as a by-product
Chemical reaction observed:
The following reaction is observed:
$C_{2} H_{5} C I + N a O H (a q) \to C_{2} H_{5} O H + N a C I$
Ethyl chloride Ethanol
