Expert Answer:
In Swarts’ reaction, heavy metal fluorides are used as reagents.
It is a reaction in which alkyl fluorides are formed when alkyl bromide or chloride reacts with metal fluorides.
In the reaction, higher alkyl halide(R-Cl) react with lower metal halide (AgF) to form lower alkyl halide(R-F).
If we don’t use heavy metal fluoride F ion cannot displace Cl/Br.
The reaction will not occur or it may form some other compound.
