Q. $CH_{3} - CH_{2} - O - CH_{2} - CH_{3}$ reacts with hot and excess HI, then formed product is
A) $CH_{3} - CH_{2} - I\ and\ CH_{3}CH_{2}OH$
B) $CH_{3} - CH_{2} - OH$
C) $CH_{3} - CH_{2} - I$
D) None of the above
Explanation
(c)
Ether on reaction with excess of HI produce two molecules of alkyl halide.

Ethyl iodine
When equimolar quantities of ether and HI are present, then one molecule of alkyl halide and one molecule of alcohol are formed.
