1.	How is Alkane prepared from Grignard reagent?
Answer» Solution :`CH_(3)MgX+HOH RARR CH_(4) Mg (OH)X.` Water would protonate the grignard reagent and destroy the grignard reagent, because the grignard carbon ATOM is HIGHLY nucleophilic. This would form a hydrocarbon. Therefore to MAKE a grignard solution, only ether is the best SOLVENT and water or alcohol are not llSed for that purpose.
