When ethyl ether is heated with excess HI for several hours, the only organic product obtained is ethyl iodide. T/F
1 answer:
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Ethers react with HI to form the corresponding alcohols and alkyl iodides.
Similarly, ethyl ether react with excess of HI to form ethanol and ethyl iodide. But in the excess of HI as mentioned in the question, ethanol too undergoes reaction with HI to form ethyl iodide.
<u>Hence, ethyl iodide is the only product when ethyl ether reacts with excess of HI for several hours.</u>

Energy is stored in chemical bonds during photosynthesis.
During photosynthesis, the radiant energy from the sun is converted to chemical energy in carbohydrates.
Inorganic materials in the form of carbon dioxide and oxygen combine to form carbohydrates in the presence of radiant energy according to the equation below:
The energy is thus, stored in chemical bonds in the carbohydrate and this is what is oxidized during respiration to release the locked energy.
