This reaction occurs by SN2 mechanism as follows to give phenol and ethyl iodide <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="Solution" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/q/nta/c-vysplwmtyrdo.png" />

Q. In the given reaction

$C_{6} H_{5} - O - C H_{2} - C H_{3} \to E x cess HI /Δ (X) + (Y)$

X and Y will respectively be

$C_{6} H_{5} I$ and $C H_{3} - C H_{2} - I$

$C_{6} H_{5} - O H$ and $C H_{3} - C H_{2} - I$

$C_{6} H_{5} I$ and $C H_{3} - C H_{2} O H$

$C_{6} H_{5} O H$ and $C H_{2} = C H_{2}$

This reaction occurs by $S_{N} 2$ mechanism as follows to give phenol and ethyl iodide
