Please find the solution to the asked query:
Reaction of benzene with acetyl chloride in the presence of a Lewis acid such as (anhydrous aluminium chloride, AlCl3, ) gives acetophenone.
b) to convert methane to toluene:
first methane is converted to methyl chloride and the by friedel craft reaction toluene is obtained:
CH3+ + FeCl4+ + Benzene Toluene + HCl- + FeCl3
6. To convert methane to ethane:
MEthane is converted into methylchloride and then Wurtz reaction is done to convert it into ethane.
kindly post remaining queries in separate threads.
Hope this information will clear your doubts regarding the topic. If you have any other doubts please ask here on the forum and our experts will try to solve them as soon as possible.

Methane with chlorine in the presence of ultraviolet light or high temperature 573-773 K gives chloromethane
CH4 + Cl2 CH3Cl + HCl
CH3Cl + FeCl3 CH3+ + FeCl4+CH3+ + FeCl4+ + Benzene Toluene + HCl- + FeCl3
