Question

Y (mix)□(→┴conc.HI ) (CH₃)₃C - O - CH₃
□(→┴Anhydrous )X (mix)
(a) X and Y are identical mixture of CH₃I and (CH₃)₃C –
OH
(b) X and Y are identical mixture of CH₃OH & (CH₃)₃C–I
(c) X is mixture of CH₃I and (CH₃)₃C – OH
(d) Y is mixture of CH₃OH & (CH₃)₃C–I

Answer 1

Answer:

(b) is your correct answer in this question

Answer 2

X is mixture of CH₃I and (CH₃)₃C – OH.

Explanation:

The compound that is produced from Y is the tertiary butyl methyl ether.

When it's heated with anhydrous hydrogen iodide, the oxygen and the methyl bond weakens.

But positive charge on oxygen isn't possible.

So a SN2 mechanism takes place where the oxygen methyl bond breaks and the methyl and iodine bond grows.

This leads to the formation of tertiary butyl oxide ion.

This leads to acceptance of hydrogen frim hydrogen iodide, forming tertiary butyl alcohol.
