Assertion and Reason Type Questions
Note : In the following questions a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given. Choose
the correct answer out of the following choices.
A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason in not the correct explanation of assertion.
C. If assertion is true but reason is false.
D. If both assertion and reason are false.

6. Assertion : Boiling point of p-nitrophenol is greater than that of o-nitrophenol.

Reason : There is intramolecular hydrogen bonding in p-nitrophenol and intermolecular hydrogen bonding in o-
nitrophenol.

7. Assertion :: Phenol forms 2, 4, 6 – tribromophenol on treatment with Br2 in carbon disulphide at 273K.
Reason : Bromine polarises in carbon disulphide.

8. Assertion : Ethanol is a weaker acid than phenol.

Reason : Sodium ethoxide may be prepared by the reaction of ethanol with aqueous NaOH.

9. Assertion : : Bond angle in ethers is slightly less than the tetrahedral angle.
Reason : : There is a repulsion between the two bulky (—R) groups.

10. Assertion : p-nitrophenol is more acidic than phenol.

Reason : Nitro group helps in the stabilisation of the phenoxide ion by dispersal of negative charge due to
resonanc.

12. Write the conversion of the following reactions:
(i) Phenol to Benzene
(ii) Dehydration of propan-2-ol to propene

(ii) 2-methylpropan-2-ol from methyl magnesium bromide
15. How do you convert the following:
(i) Phenol to 2-hydroxyacetophenone
(ii) Ethyl chloride to methoxy ethane

SECTION:C
16. Give reason for the following
a)Explain why Lewis acid is not required in bromination of phenol?

a)n-propyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol.
b)Phenol and 1-propanol.
C)Ethanol and 1-propanol.

19. Write the equations involved in the following reactions:

(i) Reimer-Tiemann reaction
(ii) Williamson’s ether synthesis.
20. How do you convert the following:
(i) Phenol to 2-hydroxyacetophenone
(ii) Ethyl chloride to methoxy ethane
(iii) Acetone to 2-methylpropan-2-ol.

SECTION-D
21. Answer the following
a)Why (CH3)3C—Br on reaction with sodium methoxide (Na+ _OCH3) gives alkene as the main product and
