Answer:

See below.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Ethers react with HI at high temperature to produce an alky halide and an alcohol.

R-OR' + HI ⟶ R-I + H-OR'

<em>Benzylic ethers</em> react by an Sₙ1 mechanism by forming the stable benzyl cation.

  1. PhCH₂-OR + HI ⟶ PhCH₂-O⁺(H)R + I⁻    Protonation of the ether
  2. PhCH₂-O⁺(H)R  ⟶ PhCH₂⁺ + HOR          Sₙ1 ionization of oxonium ion
  3. PhCH₂⁺ + I⁻       ⟶ PhCH₂-I                     Nucleophilic attack by I⁻  

If there is excess HI, the alcohol formed in Step 2 is also converted to an alkyl iodide:

ROH +HI ⟶ R-I + H-OH

Thus, benzyl ethyl ether reacts to form benzyl iodide (a) and ethanol (b).

The ethanol reacts with excess HI in an Sₙ2 reaction to form ethyl iodide (c).

Calculate the eccentricity of an ellipse. The distance between the foci is 5.2 and the length of the major axis is 20.6.Round of
Dominik [7]

Answer:

The eccentricity of the ellipse is 0.252.

Explanation:

The eccentricity of an ellipse (c), dimensionless, can be determined by means of the following expression:

e = \frac{\bar c}{\bar a} (1)

Where:

\bar c - Distance between the foci, dimensionless.

\bar a - Length of the major axis, dimensionless.

If we know that \bar c = 5.2 and \bar a = 20.6, then the eccentricity of the ellipse is:

e = \frac{5.2}{20.6}

e = 0.252

The eccentricity of the ellipse is 0.252.

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer: The values for Ka and Kb for the species in solution must be known before a prediction can be made

Explanation:

1. If Ka is greater than Kb, the salt solution is acidic

2. If Ka is lesser than Kb, the salt solution is basic

3. If Ka is equal to Kb, the salt solution is acidic
