Expert Solution
Step 1 Theory

Alkyl halide reacts with Magnesium in the presence of ether to form Grignard reagent.

Girgnard reagents are high susceptible towards water that's why that are required to put in a dry glassware along with ether so that they doesnot come in contact with any kind of acidic proton.

Grignard reagent react with molecules containing acidic proton to give hydrocarbons.
