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.
