Give reason for the following : (i) (CH_(3))_(3)C-O-CH_(3)underset("ether")overset('Anhydrous HI")(rarr) CH_(3)I+(CH_(3))_(3)COH (ii) (CH_(3))_(3)C-O-CH_(34)overset(HI(aq.))(rarr)(CH_(3))_(3)Cl+CH_(3)OH (iii) Ethers possess a net dipole moment even if they are symmetrical in structure. (iv) Dimethyl ether is completely miscible with water but diethyl ehter is soluble in water to a small extent. (v) The C-O-C bond angle in ether is higher than H-O-H angle in water though oxygen is sp^(3)- hybridized in both these cases. (vi) Why are ethers relativelyinert compounds ? |
