Dimethy ether is completely solube in water but diethyl ether is soluble in water to small extent.

Dimethyl ether is completely soluble in water but diethyl ether is soluble in water to a small extent. Explain.

(a) Explain why cleavage of phenyl ethers with HBr always produces phenol and alkyl bromides and not bromobenzene and alkanols. (b) Give reasons for the following: (i) The dipole moment of diethyl ether (1.18D) is lower than that of water (1.84D). (ii) The C-O-C bond angle in ethers is higher than H-O-H angle in water though oxygen is sp3 hybridized in both the cases. (iii) Dimethyl ether is completely miscible with water but diethyl ether is soluble in water to a small extent.
