I think it is Para-position.
They will attract each other when brought close but when they touch the glass rod will become a negative charge and will repel each other
Their should be two molecules of hydrogen (h2) to produce 2 moles of h2O2
Answer:
SN2
Explanation:
The first step of ether cleavage is the protonation of the ether since ROH is a better leaving group than RO-.
The second step of the reaction may proceed by either SN1 or SN2 mechanism depending on the structure of the ether. Methyl and primary ethers react with HI by SN2 mechanism while tertiary ethers react with HI by SN1 mechanism. Secondary ethers react with HI by a mixture of both mechanisms.
Dipentyl ether is a primary ether hence when treated with HI, the reaction with HI proceeds by SN2 mechanism as explained above.
