  1.    1−butanol
  2.    2−butanol
  3.    2−methylpropan−2−ol    
  4.    2−methylpropan−1−ol
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 2−methylpropan−2−ol    
:
C
Lucas reagent is Anhydrous ZnCl2+conc.HCl and it gives turbidity immediately with tertiary alcohols.

Question 22. Choose correct option:-
  1.    Acidic strength- Tertiary alcohol > Secondary alcohol > Primary alcohol
  2.    Boiling point n-Butane > ethoxyethane > pentanal > pentan-1-ol
  3.    Relative ease of dehydration of`alcohols- Primary > Secondary> Tertiary
  4.    Electrophilic substitution reaction- Phenol > Benzene > p-nitrophenol
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Electrophilic substitution reaction- Phenol > Benzene > p-nitrophenol
:
D
a) The acidic character of alcohols is due to the polar nature
of O–H bond. An electron-releasing group(CH3,C2H5) increases electron density on oxygen tending to decreasethe polarity of O-H bond. This decreases the acid strength.
Acidic strength- Tertiary alcohol < Secondaryalcohol < Primary alcohol
b) Alcohols have high boiling point due to hydrogen bonding. Aldehyde & ethers have high boiling points than alkanes due to polar-nature of C-O bond.
Boiling point order-n-Butane < ethoxyethane < pentanal < pentan-1-ol
c) Relative ease of dehydration of alcohols- Primary < Seconadary < Tertiary.
Greater the no. of alkyl groups, more stable is the carbocation due to positive inductive effect.
d) In phenol, presence of O-H group strongly activates the aromatic ring towards electrophilic substitution reaction. Chloro group is weakly deactivating due to electronegative chlorine but o & p-director.
Due to nitro group, p-nitrophenol is strongly deactivating towardselectrophilic substitution reaction.
Question 23. 2-Ethoxy-2-methylpropane when reacted with HI, products obtained are
  1.    Iodoethane and 2-Methylpropan-2-ol
  2.    Iodoethane and 2-methylpropene
  3.    2-Iodo-2-methylpropane and ethanol
  4.    ethene & 2-Iodo-2-methylpropane
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 2-Iodo-2-methylpropane and ethanol
:
C
In step 2 of the reaction, the departure of leaving group (HOC2H5) creates a more stable carbocation [(CH3)3C+], and the reaction follows SN1 mechanism.
Question 24. Choose correct option:-
  1.    Carbon-Oxygen linkage bond length is shorter in phenol than in methanol
  2.    Ethers are acidic in nature
  3.    Bond angle in methyl alcohol is greater than 109∘ 28′
  4.    Hydroboration-Oxidation of alkenes is in accordance with Markownikoff’s rule
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Carbon-Oxygen linkage bond length is shorter in phenol than in methanol
:
A
The carbon– oxygen bond length (136 pm) in phenol is slightly less than that in methanol. This is due to
(i) partial double bond character on account of the conjugation of unshared electron pair of oxygen with the aromatic ring and
(ii) sp2 hybridised state of carbon to which oxygen is attached.
Ethers are Lewis bases due to presence of lone pairs on oxygen atom. Bond angle in alcohols is slightly less than the tetrahedral angle (10928'). It is due to the repulsion betweenthe unshared electron pairs of oxygen. Hydroboration-Oxidation of alkenes is in accordance with Anti-Markownikoff’s rule. The addition of borane to the double bond takes place in such a manner that the boron atom gets attached to the sp2 carboncarrying greater number of hydrogen atoms.
Question 25. Carbolic acid is
  1.    Phenol
  2.    Phenyl benzoate
  3.    Phenyl acetate
  4.    Salol
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Phenol
:
A
Phenol, also known as carbolic acid, was first isolated in the early 19th century from coal tar.
Question 26. Choose incorrect option:
  1.    Reimer-Tiemann reaction of phenol yields salicylaldehyde.
  2.    OH group in phenol is weakly deactivating towards electrophilic substitution reaction.
  3.    Phenol undergoes Kolbe’s reaction to give o-hydroxy benzoic acid.
  4.    OH group in phenol is ortho and para director.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> OH group in phenol is weakly deactivating towards electrophilic substitution reaction.
:
B
Choose incorrect option:−
The presence of OH group in phenols strongly activates the aromatic ring towards electrophilic substitution and directs the incoming group to ortho and para positions due to resonance effect.
Choose incorrect option:−
Question 27. LiAlH4 converts acetic acid into 
  1.    Acetaldehyde
  2.    Methane
  3.    Ethyl alcohol
  4.    Methyl alcohol
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Ethyl alcohol
:
C
CH3COOH+4HLiAlH4−−−CH3CH2OH+H2O
Question 28. Major product obtained when propanone reacts with methylmagnesium bromide followed by hydrolysis.
  1.    2-butanol
  2.    2-methyl-propan-2-ol
  3.    1-butene
  4.    propane

Answer: Option B. -> 2-methyl-propan-2-ol
:
B
