Add #NH_"3"# under alcoholic conditions.

Explanation:

The molecular formula for Ethyl Chloride is #CH_"3"CH_"2"Cl#

To convert a haloalkane to a amine you add #NH_"3"# under alcoholic conditions.

So in this reaction #NH_"2"# is substituted for the halogen (#Cl#), as the Chlorine is removed it reacts with the Hydrogen that was lost from the #NH_"3"#, this results in a #HCl# being produced.

The resulting reaction is:

#CH_"3"CH_"2"Cl + NH_"3" -> CH_"3"CH_"2"NH_"2" + HCl#
