Question

Two compounds [A] and [B] have molecular formula `C_(2)H_(6)O.` On reacting with HI [A] gives alkyl iodide and water while [B] gives alkyl iodide and alcohol . What are the compounds [A] and [B] ? Write the reactions involved.
A. `CH_3OC_2H_5 and CH_OC_H_5`
B. `CH_3OCH_3 and C_2H_5OCH_3 `
C. `C_2H_5OH and CH_3OCH_3 `
D. `CH_3OH and CH_3OCH_3 `

Answer 1

Correct Answer - C
`underset((X))(C_2H_5OH)+HIrarrC_2H_5I+H_2O`
`underset((Y))(CH_(3))OCH_(3)+HIrarrCH_(3)I+CH_(3)OH`
