Make the reaction equations: sodium acetate – methane – chloromethane – methanol – dimethyl ether

Let’s write the equations:
1. CH3COONa + NaOH = CH4 + Na2CO3 – exchange is possible when substances are heated, methane is released;
2. CH4 + Cl2 = CH3Cl + HCl – substitution occurs in the light, methane chloride is formed;
3. CH3Cl + KOH = CH3OH + KCl – exchange, methanol was obtained;
4. CH3OH + CH3OH = CH3-O – CH3 + H2O – dehydration, dimethyl ether is formed, the reaction takes place in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid as a dehydrating agent.
Methane is a gaseous fuel, methane chloride and dimethyl ether are used as solvents.
These reactions confirm the connection between alkanes, alcohols, ethers.
