Explain why the acid-catalyzed condensation is a poor method for the synthesis of an unsymmetrical ether such as ethyl methyl ether, CH3CH2OCH3. Check all that apply. a. equimolar amounts of ethanol and methanol would produce CH3CH2OCH3and CH3OCH3 in addition to CH3CH2OCH2CH3
b. assymetrical ethers are unstable when exposed to acid and tend to undergo hydration to form alcohols.
c. a mixture of ethers is difficult to separate.

you need to take a look at the periodic system in order to sort these elements into pairs that would most likely exhibit similar chemical properties. first, you need to find elements that are found in the same group (groups are vertical in the periodic system), and then to see whether they have the same valence number. if they meet these criteria, they will have similar properties.

the first pair: ne (neon) and kr (krypton), are noble gases found in group 8

the second pair: li (lithium) and k (potassium), found in group 1

the third pair: s (sulfur) and te (tellurium), found in group 6
