Which of the following statement is correct?
Report Question
0%
Phenol is less acidic than ethyl alcohol
0%
Phenol is more acidic than ethyl alcohol
0%
Phenol is more acidic than carboxylic acid
0%
Phenol is more acidic than carbonic acid
Explanation
In phenol, hydroxyl group directly attach to
s
p
2
hybridised carbon which withdraw the electron pair of oxygen to wards itself. Due to this, electron density on oxygen atom decreases and icreases the polarity of
O
−
H
bond, which leads to the formation of phenoxide ion.
In phenoxide ion, negative charge is delocalised, which makes phenoxide ion stable. But in alkoxide ion, the negtive charge is localised on oxygen only.
Thus, phenol is more acidic than alcohol.
Hence, option
B
is correct.

Which of the following statements is correct regarding case of dehydration in alcohols?
Report Question

None of these
Explanation
Dehydration of alcohol forms carbocation as intermediate. More stable is the carbocation, ease of reaction is more.
The order of stability of carbocation is:

So, the dehydration of tertiary alcohol is faster than the dehydration of the secondary alcohol and
the dehydration of the secondary alcohol is faster than the dehydration of primary alcohol.
Hence, the option

Explanation
Halogenation in the presence of light follows free radical pathway and thus will react with the alkyl group to give haloalkyl.
Thus formed haloalkyl in the presence of alkaline medium will undergo substitution reaction and will form alcohol by replacing halogen atom in the haloalkyl group.
