B

one molecule of ethanol

C

1 molecule of ethanol and 1 molecule of methanol.

D

2 molecules of ethyl alcohol

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Molecular weight of `CH_3-O-CH_3` is 46.
`CH_3-O-CH_3+H_2O underset(HCl)overset(dil.)to 2CH_3` is 46.
`CH_3-O-CH_3+H_2O underset(HCl)overset(dil.)to 2CH_3-OH`
