Due to presence of intra H-bond, the ‘H’ is engaged, it becomes weak acid. Moreover NaHCO3 is a weaker
base. So, o–nitrophenol does not react with NaHCO3 and hence it is not soluble in NaHCO3.

Due to intra H bond in o-nitrophenol it is less acidic than p-nitrophenol.
So, Ka (p-nitrophenol) > Ka (o-nitrophenol)
So, pKa order p-nitrophenol < o-nitrophenol

2. A : When C2H5–O–CH3 is reacted with one mole of HI then C2H5OH & CH3I is formed.
R : It is SN1 reaction.
The -R gp 3° then only SN1 attack of I– takes place otherwise SN2 attack takes place.
So, in absence of 3°R, that –‘R’ is being attack by I– (or X–) which is less sterically crowded, because the
attack is SN2. Since SN2 reactivity order follows as H3C – I > 1°R – I > 2°R – I > 3°R – I

4. A : In esterification reaction, HCOOH is the most reactive acid among carboxylic acid.
As in esterification, steric crowding is dominant factor, so smaller is the ‘R’ group of carboxylic acid more is
(RCO2H) the reactivity.
Ethers absorb and react with oxygen from air, in presence of light, forming unstable peroxide that can deto-
nate with extreme violence when they become concentrated through evaporation or distillation and disturbed
by heat, shock or friction.

Hydroboration oxidation follows through formation of 4-membered cyclic Ts only and not via carbocation and
hence it gives anti markovnikov addition of H2O on alkene.

16. A : In esterification reaction alcohol act as nucleophile.
In esterification reaction alcohol acts as nucleophile because there is lp present on OH of R – OH and since
O – H bond can be cleaved easily. So, it favours its nucleophility.

18. A : Primary alcohol is prepared by the reaction of primary amine with HNO2.
R : Dimethyl amine is a primary amine but does not form methyl alcohol with HNO2.
19. A : The reactivity order of alcohols is 1° > 2° > 3° for the reaction in which O–H bond is broken.
R : The reactivity order of alcohol is 3° > 2° > 1° for the reaction in which C–O bond is broken.
Reactivity order of alcohols for the reaction in which O – H bond is broken is in the order of
H3C – O– > 1°R – O– > 2°R – O– > 3°R – O– (because of +I effect of ‘R’ group)
