Answer:
Ratios in order of increasing value ; The ratio of the mass ratio of Y to X in XY2 to the mass ratio of Y to X in XY, The ratio of the mass ratio of Y to X in XY3 to the mass ratio of Y to X in XY, The ratio of the mass ratio of Y to X in XY4 to the mass ratio of Y to X in XY
1) Mass ratio = 3
2) Mass ratio = 2
3) Mass ratio = 4
Explanation:
The detailed and step by step calculation is shown in the attachment.
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.
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).
