Alkyl halide and aryl halide react in the presence of sodium metal and dry ether. The name of the reaction is?

Question

Consider following reaction :
$Fe(OH)_2 + 2e^- \rightarrow Fe(s) + 2OH^-$ , $E^{\circ} = -0.88 \text{ V}$
$AgBr(s) + e^- \rightarrow Ag(s) + Br^-(aq)$ , $E^{\circ} = 0.07 \text{ V}$
Select the correct statement.
(1) $E^{\circ}_{cell} = -0.95 \text{V}$
(2) $E^{\circ}_{cell}$ is an extensive property
(3) $Fe$ is getting reduced
(4) Net cell reaction: $Fe(s) + 2OH^-(aq) + 2AgBr(s) \rightarrow Fe(OH)_2 + 2Ag(s) + 2Br^-(aq)$

Answer 1

The Wurtz-Fittig reaction synthesizes alkyl aryl compounds by reacting alkyl and aryl halides with sodium metal in dry ether: \[ C_6H_5Cl + CH_3Cl + 2Na \xrightarrow{\text{Dry Ether}} C_6H_5CH_3 + 2NaCl. \]
Distinction: The Wurtz reaction exclusively uses alkyl halides, whereas the Fittig reaction uses only aryl halides. Williamson Ether Synthesis is distinct from this process.
