Directions : In this question, A statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Mark the correct choice as.

Assertion (A): Ortho and para-nitrophenol can be separated by steam distillation.
Reason (R): Ortho isomer associates through intermolecular hydrogen bonding while para isomer associates through intermolecular hydrogen bonding.

Detailed Solution for Assertion & Reason Test: Alcohols, Phenols & Ethers - Question 4

Ortho isomer has intermolecular H-bonding while para isomer has intermolecular hydrogen bonding.

Assertion & Reason Test: Alcohols, Phenols & Ethers - Question 5

Directions : In this question, A statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Mark the correct choice as.

Assertion (A): Carboxylic acids are more acidic than phenols.
Reason (R): Phenols are ortho and para directing.

Detailed Solution for Assertion & Reason Test: Alcohols, Phenols & Ethers - Question 5

Carboxylic acids are more acidic than phenols as the carboxylate ion, the conjugate base of carboxylic acid is stabilized by two equivalent resonance structures. Thus, the negative charge is delocalized effectively. However, in phenols, negative charge is less effectively delocalized over oxygen atom and carbon atoms in phenoxide ion.

Assertion & Reason Test: Alcohols, Phenols & Ethers - Question 6

Directions : In this question, A statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Mark the correct choice as.

Assertion (A) : The C-O-C bond angle in ethers is slightly less than tetrahedral angle.
Reason (R): Due to the repulsive interaction between the two alkyl groups in ethers.

Detailed Solution for Assertion & Reason Test: Alcohols, Phenols & Ethers - Question 6

The C-O-C bond angle in ether is slightly greater than tetrahedral angle. It is due  to the repulsive interaction between the two alkyl groups in ethers.

Assertion & Reason Test: Alcohols, Phenols & Ethers - Question 7

Directions : In this question, A statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Mark the correct choice as.

Assertion : In Lucas test, 3º alcohols react immediately.
Reason : An equimolar mixture of anhyd. ZnCl2 and conc. HCl is called Lucas reagent.

Detailed Solution for Assertion & Reason Test: Alcohols, Phenols & Ethers - Question 7

Assertion & Reason Test: Alcohols, Phenols & Ethers - Question 8

Directions : In this question, A statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Mark the correct choice as.

Assertion : Phenol is more reactive than benzene towards electrophilic substitution reaction.
Reason : In the case of phenol, the intermediate carbocation is more resonance stabilized.
 

Detailed Solution for Assertion & Reason Test: Alcohols, Phenols & Ethers - Question 8

-OH group shows + M effect and is an activating group, moreover the arenium ion of phenolic substitution is more stable.

Assertion & Reason Test: Alcohols, Phenols & Ethers - Question 9

Directions : In this question, A statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Mark the correct choice as.

Assertion : ter – Butyl methyl ether is not prepared by the reaction of ter-butyl bromide with sodium methoxide.
Reason : Sodium methoxide is a strong nucleophile.

Detailed Solution for Assertion & Reason Test: Alcohols, Phenols & Ethers - Question 9

In Williamson's synthesis, if a tertiary alkyl halide is used, an alkene is the only reaction product and no ether is formed.

It is because alkoxides are not only nucleophiles but also strong bases as well. They react with alkyl halides leading to elimination reaction.

Assertion : Ethyl phenyl ether on reaction with HBr form phenol and ethyl bromide.
Reason : Cleavage of C–O bond takes place on ethyl￾oxygen bond due to the more stable phenyl-oxygen bond.

Assertion & Reason Test: Alcohols, Phenols & Ethers - Question 12

Directions : In this question, A statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Mark the correct choice as.

Assertion : The bond angle in alcohols is slightly less than the tetrahedral angle.
Reason : In alcohols, the oxygen of –OH group is attached to sp3 hybridized carbon atom.

Assertion & Reason Test: Alcohols, Phenols & Ethers - Question 13

Directions: These questions consist of two statements, each printed as Assertion and Reason. While answering these questions, you are required to choose any one of the following four responses.

Assertion : Reimer-Tiemann reaction of phenol with CCl4 in NaOH at 340 K gives salicyclic acid as the major product.
Reason : The reaction occurs through intermediate formation of dichlorocarbene.

Detailed Solution for Assertion & Reason Test: Alcohols, Phenols & Ethers - Question 13

Nucleophilic attack of phenolate ion through the ortho-carbon atom occurs on CCl4 to form an intermediate which on hydrolysis gives salicylic acid.

Assertion & Reason Test: Alcohols, Phenols & Ethers - Question 14

Assertion & Reason Test: Alcohols, Phenols & Ethers - Question 16

Directions : In this question, A statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Mark the correct choice as.

Assertion : With HI at 373 K, ter-butyl methyl ether gives ter-butyl iodide and methanol.
Reason : The reaction occurs by SN2 mechanism.

Detailed Solution for Assertion & Reason Test: Alcohols, Phenols & Ethers - Question 16

The cleavage of C-O bond in ether takes place under drastic conditions with excess of hydrogen halides.
When one of the alkyl groups is a tertiary group, the halide formed is a tertiary halide.

Mechanism: 
(i) protonation of tert-butyl methyl ether-

(ii) 

In the second step, the departure of the learning group yields a tertiary i.e. a stable carbocation so the reaction proceeds through an SN’ mechanism.
(iii) 

So, The correct option is c.
