The correct answer is: 3

In the above reaction the Ethyl group of grignard reagent acts as a strong base.

As per the stoichiometric equation the number of moles of methanol is equal to the number of moles of ethane.

Volume of methanol=Volume of ethane=2.24ml

Hence, number of moles of ethane

n=2.24×10-322.4=10-4

Weight of the gas= Number of moles× Molecular mass

W=n×M

=10-4×30=3mg
