Answer #1

Solution :- correct answer is about 3.5 ppm.

In ethane the methyl proton shift is observed at 0.86. but in ethanol and diethylether oxygen is attached to the carbon , because of electronegative nature of oxygen, oxygen will attract electron density because of it the carbon will experience some positive charge , due to the positive charge on carbon ,protons are more deshielded as a result downfield shift is observed . Thats why insted of o.86 (as in ethane ) methylene protons were observed at around 3.5 .
