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: 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 resonance.


Assertion: Like bromination of benzene, bromination of phenol is also carried out in the presence of Lewis acid.

Reason: Lewis acid polarises the bromine molecule.


Assertion: Phenol forms 2, 4, 6 – tribromophenol on treatment with \[\ce{Br2}\] in carbon disulphide at 273 K.

Reason: Bromine polarises in carbon disulphide.


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.
