The reaction pathway for the given sequence of reactions is as follows:
C2H5Cl (chloroethane) undergoes a dehydrohalogenation reaction to form C2H4 (ethylene) as follows: C2H5Cl -> C2H4 + HCl
The ethylene produced in the first reaction undergoes addition reaction with Cl2 (chlorine gas) to form C2H4Cl2 (1,2-dichloroethane) as follows: C2H4 + Cl2 -> C2H4Cl2
Therefore, the sequence of reactions starting with C2H5Cl results in the formation of C2H4Cl2.
