The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the reaction of the ether compound \( C_6H_5-O-CH_2-CH_3 \) with excess HI under heating conditions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Ether Structure**: The given compound is an ether where \( C_6H_5 \) (phenyl group) is bonded to an oxygen atom, which is further bonded to \( CH_2-CH_3 \) (ethyl group). The structure can be represented as: \[ C_6H_5-O-CH_2-CH_3 \] 2. **Understanding the Reaction with HI**: When ethers react with hydrogen iodide (HI), they can undergo cleavage. The presence of an aromatic group (like the phenyl group) can influence the cleavage due to resonance stabilization. 3. **Resonance Effect**: The lone pair of electrons on the oxygen atom can participate in resonance with the phenyl group. This means that the oxygen atom can stabilize itself by forming a bond with the phenyl group when HI is added. 4. **Cleavage of the Ether**: Due to the resonance stabilization, the ether bond will break in such a way that the oxygen will bond with the phenyl group, leading to the formation of phenol. The other part of the ether will release an ethyl group with iodide. 5. **Products Formation**: - The first product, [X], is phenol \( C_6H_5OH \) because the oxygen atom bonds with the phenyl group. - The second product, [Y], is ethyl iodide \( CH_3CH_2I \) because the ethyl group is left with the iodide from HI. Thus, the final products of the reaction are: - [X] = \( C_6H_5OH \) (Phenol) - [Y] = \( CH_3CH_2I \) (Ethyl iodide) ### Final Answer: [X] and [Y] will respectively be: \( C_6H_5OH \) and \( CH_3CH_2I \).
