One molecule of dialkyl ether produces how many molecules of alkyl halides with excess of halogen acid?(a) 1(b) 2(c) 3(d) 4The question was posed to me in semester exam.My question comes from Ethers in division Alcohols, Phenols and Ethers of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

The correct option is (b) 2

To explain: DIALKYL ethers when TREATED with excess halogen acid first FORM an alkyl HALIDE and alcohol. The alcohol further reacts with the excess acid to form the same alkyl halide and a water molecule. Thus, two alkyl halide MOLECULES are produced in the end.
