Add NH3 under alcoholic conditions.

Explanation:

The molecular formula for Ethyl Chloride is CH3CH2Cl

To convert a haloalkane to a amine you add NH3 under alcoholic conditions.

So in this reaction NH2 is substituted for the halogen (Cl), as the Chlorine is removed it reacts with the Hydrogen that was lost from the NH3, this results in a HCl being produced.

The resulting reaction is:

CH3CH2Cl+NH3CH3CH2NH2+HCl
