14. ANS:

Acidic ether cleavages are typical nucleophilic substitution reactions that take place by either an SN 1 or SN 2 pathway. Diaryl ethers like diphenyl ether are inert under ordinary acidic conditions because the generation of an aryl cation is an SN 1 process that is energetically unfavorable, and "back-side" attack at the ring carbon bound to oxygen is sterically unfavorable.
