Write the reaction equation C — CH4 — CH3Cl — C2H6 — C2H5NO2

Let’s write down the reaction equations:
C + H2 = CH4 – compound reaction;
CH4 + CL2 = CH3CL + HCL – substitution reaction;
2CH3CL + 2Na = C2H6 + 2NaCL – Wurtz reaction;
C2H6 + HO – NO2 = C2H5NO2 + H2O – nitration reaction, Konovalov reaction.
All reaction products are of practical importance. Methane is a fuel. Methane chloride is a solvent. Ethane is part of natural gas – fuel. Nitroethane as a solvent and also used in organic synthesis. First obtained in 1888 by the Russian chemist M.I. Konovalov, the reaction is named after him.
