Chlorination of ethane to ethyl chloride is more practicable than chlorination of n-Pentane to 1-Chloropentanc. Why ?

It is because.monochlorinauon of ethane. gives only  ethyl chloride whereas  monochlorination of pentane gives three isomeric chloro derivatives.

Nitrobenzene and not benzene, is used as a solvent for Fricdel Craft alkylation of bromobenzene. Why ?

Bromo substituted benzene is preferentially more reactive than Nitro substituted benzene hence it would preferentially undergo alkylation if il is used as a solvent.On the other hand, in nitrobenzene is so strongly deactivating that nitrobenzene does not undergo Friedel Craft reaction.
