Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R:
Assertion A: Alcohols react both as nucleophiles and electrophiles.
Reason R: Alcohols react with active metals such as sodium, potassium and aluminum to yield corresponding alkoxides and liberate hydrogen.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below: [2024]
Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
A is false but R is true.
(1)
Assertion:
Alcohols can react both as an electrophile as well as a nucleophile.
Reason:
Alcohols react with active metals to liberate hydrogen. This shows acidic nature of alcohols.

Consider the above reactions, identify product B and product C. [2024]
B = 2-Propanol, C = 1-Propanol
B = C = 1-Propanol
B = C = 2-Propanol
B = 1-Propanol, C = 2-Propanol
(1)

Identify the major products A and B respectively in the following set of reactions. [2024]





(3)

This is acylation of alcohol
Given below are two statements: [2025]
Statement (I): The boiling points of alcohols and phenols increase with increase in the number of C-atoms.
Statement (II): The boiling points of alcohols and phenols are higher in comparison to other class of compounds such as ethers, haloalkanes.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Both Statement I and Statement II are false
(3)
With increase in number of carbon atoms, magnitude of London forces of attraction increases hence boiling point increases. Alcohols and phenols have intermolecular hydrogen bonding hence boiling point of alcohols and phenols are higher than ethers or haloalkanes with comparable molar masses.

Yellow
Orange-Red
Green
Blue
(4)
is more soluble in organic solvent like amyl alcohol and blue coloured organic layer is obtained.
In the following reaction, ‘B’ is [2023]





(4)

The strongest acid from the following is [2023]




(1)
Due to presence of — group at meta position, phenoxide ion formed is the most stabilised conjugate ion, therefore, its corresponding compound is the strongest acid. Hence the compound
is the strongest acid among the given.
Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A: Butan-1-ol has higher boiling point than ethoxyethane.
Reason R: Extensive hydrogen bonding leads to stronger association of molecules.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below: [2023]
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
A is false but R is true
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
A is true but R is false
(3)
Due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding in Butane-1-ol, association of molecule increases resulting increase in attraction between the molecules and hence boiling point increases.
Incorrect method of preparation for alcohols from the following is: [2023]
Reaction of ketone with RMgBr followed by hydrolysis
Reaction of alkyl halide with aqueous NaOH.
