Explanation:

I assume you meant the organic product formed FROM the reaction of Sodium hydroxide and Chloroethane...

The reaction between $N a O H$ $NaOH$ and $C_{2} H_{5} C l$ $C_2H_5Cl$ is an organic reaction with a mechanism called $S_{N} 2$ $S_N2$ , a substitution reaction where the halogen gets replaced by a nucleophile (The hydroxide ion in this case).

The substitution reaction produces Ethanol and Sodium chloride.

$C_{2} H_{5} C l + N a O H \to (M e c h a n i s m) \to N a C l + C_{2} H_{5} O H$ $C_2H_5Cl + NaOH -> (M e c h a n i s m) -> NaCl + C_2H_5OH$

So the organic product is Ethanol, which has the complete combustion reaction outlined below:

$C_{2} H_{5} O H + 3 O_{2} \to 2 C O_{2} + 3 H_{2} O$ $C_2H_5OH +3 O_2 -> 2CO_2 + 3H_2O$
