Answer:
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products must be same as the mass of reactants.
For the conservation of mass, the number of atoms of each element must be same in reactants and products. Thus we need to balance the reaction by writing appropriate stochiometric coefficients.
Thy hydrocarbons such as acetylene burn in oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.

Answer:
Ether
SN1 mechanism
Explanation:
The nucleophile in this reaction is CH3OH. It is a poor nucleopile. We already know that a poor nucleophile reacting with a tertiary alkyl halide often leads to the substitution product as the major product.
Also, the iodide ion is a good leaving group. This makes the SN1 substitution more likely yielding the ether as the major product as shown in the image attached.
