Given below are two statements:
Assertion (A): | Ortho and para nitrophenols are more acidic than phenol. |
Reason (R): | Phenoxide ion formed by ortho and para nitrophenols are more stable than pehenoxide ion formed by phenol. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
Select the correct option based on the statements below:
Assertion (A): | Phenols give o-and p-nitrophenol on nitration with conc. HNO3 and H2SO4 mixture. |
Reason (R): | —OH group in phenol is o-, p-directing. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
Select the correct option based on statements below:
Assertion (A): | Phenol forms 2,4,6-tribromophenol on treatment with Br2 in carbon disulphide at 273K. |
Reason (R): | Bromine polarises in carbon disulphide. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
Select the correct option based on statements below:
Assertion (A): | -OH, -OCH3 groups are o, p-directing. |
Reason (R): | Ring is activated by the resonance effect of -OH, -OCH3 groups. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
I: | The product of the reaction of phenol with bromine depends on the nature of the solvent. |
II: | The reaction of phenol with bromine in CHCl3 gives a monosubstituted bromo derivative whereas the reaction of phenol with bromine water yields a trisubstituted bromo derivative of phenol. |
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
1. | I is correct and II is incorrect |
2. | I is incorrect and II is correct |
3. | Both I and II are correct |
4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
