Best answer

(a) phenol and ethyl bromide.

The reaction is a hydrolysis reaction, and it involves the cleavage of the ether linkage. Phenyl ethyl ether is hydrolyzed by concentrated HBr to produce phenol and ethyl bromide as the products. The reaction can be represented as follows:

Ph-O-CH2CH3 + HBr → Ph-OH (Phenol) + CH3CH2Br (Ethyl bromide)
