Assertion: Addition reaction of water to but-1-ene in acidic medium yields butan-1-ol.
Reason: Addition of water in acidic medium proceeds through the formation of primary carbocation.
Assertion: IUPAC name of the compound

\ce{CH3 - CH - O - CH2 - CH2 - CH3}\\
|\phantom{....................}\\
\ce{CH3}\phantom{.................}
\end{array}\] is 2-Ethoxy-2-methylethane.
Reason: In IUPAC nomenclature, ether is regarded as hydrocarbon derivative in which a hydrogen atom is replaced by —OR or —OAr group [where R = alkyl group and Ar = aryl group]
Assertion: Phenols give o- and p-nitrophenol on nitration with conc. \[\ce{HNO3}\] and \[\ce{H2SO4}\] mixture.
Reason: –OH group in phenol is o–, p– directing.
