The reaction of ethyl magnesium bromide (C2H5MgBr) with water would give ethane (C2H6). Ethyl magnesium bromide is a Grignard reagent, and when it reacts with water, it undergoes hydrolysis to produce ethane and magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2). The reaction can be represented as follows:

C2H5MgBr + 2H2O -> C2H6 + Mg(OH)2 + 2HBr
