Answer 1

Hey dear,

● Answer-
Methanol CH3-OH
Ter-butyl-iodide (CH3)3-C-I

● Explanation-
- Methyl-tertiary-butyl-ether on heating with 1 M hydrogen iodide gives methanol and tertiary-butyl-iodide as products.

CH3-O-C-(CH3)3 + HI ---> CH3-OH + (CH3)3-C-I

- The reaction involves protonation of oxygen which is followed by SN1 substitution.
