Q 11. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: 5 Marks
Both alcohols and phenols are acidic in nature, but phenols are more acidic than alcohols. Acidic
strength of alcohols mainly depends upon the inductive effect. Acidic strength of phenols depends
upon a combination of both inductive effect and resonance effects of the substituent and its
position on the benzene ring. Electron withdrawing groups increases the acidic strength of phenols
whereas electron donating groups decreases the acidic strength of phenols. Phenol is a weaker
acid than carboxylic acid.
The following questions are multiple choice questions. Choose the most appropriate answer:

i. Phenols are highly acidic as compare to alcohols due to:

3/7
 a. The higher molecular mass of phenols.

b. The stronger hydrogen bonds in phenols.

c. (IV) > (III) > (II) > (I)

d. (I) > (II) > (IV) > (III)

Q 13. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: 5 Marks
Lucas test is a test to differentiate between primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols. This test
consists of treating an alcohol with Lucas' reagent, and turbidity, due to the formation of insoluble
alkyl chloride, is observed. Lucas test is based on the difference in reacting of three classes of
alcohols with hydrogen chloride via SN1 reaction. The different reactivity reflects the differing ease
of formation of the corresponding carbocations.
In these questions (Q. No. i-iv), a statement of assertion followed by a statement ofreason is
given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.

a. Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for

assertion.

b. Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for

assertion.

c. Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.

d. Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.

i. Assertion: Equimolar mixture of cone. HCI and anhydrous ZnCl2 is called Lucas' reagent.

Reason: Lucas' reagent can be used to distinguish between methanol and ethanol.

ii. Assertion: 2-Methyl-2-butanol gives no turbidity with Lucas' reagent at room temperature.

Reason: It is a 3º alcohol.

iii. Assertion: Tertiary alcohols react fastest with Lucas' reagent by SN1 mechanism.

Reason: 3º carbocation is most stable.

5/7
 iv. Assertion: Amongst the compounds, H2C = CHCH2OH (I), C6H5OH (II), CH3CH2CH2OH (III)

and (CH3)3COH (IV), only (IV) reacts with Lucas' reagent at room temperature.

Reason: Tertiary alcohol gives turbidity immediately with Lucas' reagent.

v. Assertion: Lucas test can be used to distinguish between 1-propanol and 2-propanol.

Reason: Lucas test is based upon the difference in reactivity of primary, secondary and
tertiary alcohols with cone. HCI and anhyd. ZnCl2.
