C 2 H 5 OH + HI longrightarrow C 2 H 5 I + H 5 O ( X ) CH 3 OCH 3+ HI longrightarrow CH 3 I + CH 3 OH

Q. Compound $C_{2} H_{6} O$ has two isomers $X$ and $Y$ . On reaction with $H I$ , $X$ gives alkyl iodide and water while $Y$ gives alkyl iodide and alcohol. Compounds $X$ and $Y$ are respectively

$C_{2} H_{5} O C_{2} H_{5}$ and $C H_{3} O C_{2} H_{5}$

$C H_{3} OC H_{3}$ and $C_{2} H_{5} OC H_{3}$

$C_{2} H_{5} O H$ and $C H_{3} OC H_{3}$

$C H_{3} O H$ and $C H_{3} OC H_{3}$

$C_{2} H_{5} O H + H I ⟶ C_{2} H_{5} I + H_{5} O$ $(X)$
$C H_{3} OC H_{3} + H I ⟶ C H_{3} I + C H_{3} O H$
