Ortho nitrophenol is more acidic than ortho methoxy phenol because:

1.	The NO2-group increases the electron density in phenol while the methoxy group decreases the electron density in phenol
2.	The nitro-group is an electron-withdrawing group while the methoxy group is an electron-releasing group
3.	The methoxy-group is an electron-withdrawing group while the nitro group is an electron-releasing group
4.	None of the above

Identify A when benzene is treated with Cl₂ in the presence of AlCl₃, and the product obtained is further treated with NaOH at 623 K and 300 atm to form phenol.

The proposed mechanism for hydration of ethene to yield ethanol is as follows:

The wrong step in the above mechanism is:
