Explanation:
On heating with dilute sulfuric acid under pressure, ethers are hydrolysed to alcohols.
For example,
C2H5OC2H5 + H2O ----(dil.H2so4,high pressure)-----> 2C2H5OH
Mixed ethers under similar conditions give a mixture of alcohols.
CH3OC2H5 + H2O ------(dil.H2so4,high pressure)------>C2H5OH + CH3OH
But if concentrated sulfuric acid is used, then the products are alcohol and alkyl hydrogen sulphate.
C2H5OC2H5 (Diethyl ether) -----(heat, conc. H2SO4)-----> C2H5OH (ethanol)+ C2H5OSO2OH (ethyl hydrogen sulphate)
