Answer:
\[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}
\\
\text{Alcohol}
\end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{-\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}}\,}}\,-OH+HCl(g)\,\xrightarrow{ZnC{{l}_{2}}\,(anhyd.)}\,\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}
\\
\text{Alkyl}\,\,\text{chloride}
\end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{-\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}}\,-Cl\,}}\,+{{H}_{2}}O\]
Anhydrous \[ZnC{{l}_{2}}\] is a
dehydrating agent and absorbs molecules of \[{{H}_{2}}O\] formed in the
reaction. This enables the reaction to proceed in the forward direction.
