Explanation:
  1. $CH_3-O-CH_3$ is a symmetrical ether so the products are $CH_3I$ and $CH_2OH.$
  2. In $(CH_3)_2CH-O-CH_3$ unsymmetrical ether, one alkyl group is primary while another is secondary. So, it follows ${S_N}^2$ mechanism. Thus, the halide ion attacks the smaller alkyl group and the products are
  1. In this case, one of the alkyl group is tertiary and the other is primary. It follows ${S_N}^1$ mechanism and halide ion attacks the tertiary alkyl group and the products are $(CH_3)_3\ C-I$ and $CH_3OH.$
  2. Here, the unsymmetrical ether is alkyl aryl ether. In this ether $0-CH_3$ bond is weaker than $0-C_6H_5$ bond which has partial double bond character due to resonance. So, the halide ion attacks on alkyl group and the products are $C_6H_5-OH$ and $CH_3I.$
