Answer 1

The curved arrow mechanism is given as shown below CH H3C CH3 H3C н.с H3C: CH3 H3C H3C O: H3C

In this reaction, ether is act as a nucleophile and hydrogen iodide is act as an electrophile At first, protonation of ether take place and then iodide ion attacks on the protonated ether, resulting formation of methyl iodide and methanol is take place. After that, methanol gets protonated and finally, water and methyl iodide are formed as the final product
