Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): p-nitrophenol is more acidic than m-nitrophenol and o-nitrophenol.
Statement (II): Ethanol will give immediate turbidity with Lucas reagent.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Statement (I): p-nitrophenol is more acidic than m-nitrophenol and o-nitrophenol.
Statement (II): Ethanol will give immediate turbidity with Lucas reagent.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Both Statement I and Statement II are false
Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Statement I is false but Statement II is true
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Statement I: p-Nitrophenol is more acidic than m- and o-nitrophenol due to resonance stabilization and inductive effects.
Statement II: Ethanol reacts slowly with Lucas reagent, not giving immediate turbidity (which is typical of tertiary alcohols).
Thus, Statement I is correct, and Statement II is incorrect.
