This reaction is known as
Acidic Cleavage of Ether.
Ether when treated with strong acid like
HI, the oxygen atom of ether picks the proton making a positive charge on oxygen. The
Iodide conjugate base formed acts as a
nucleophile and attacks on the carbon next to positive oxygen and forms
Alkyl Halide. This is a type of
SN² reaction. The complete reaction with missing atoms, charges and arrows is shown below,
The correct answer is D 4.29x10^24
Answer:
I think A should be the answer because oxygen is the chemical change of carbon.
