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 ?
