Section-D 29) Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: The reaction of phenol with aqueous sodium hydroxide indicates that phenols are stronger acids than alcohols and water. Due to the higher electronegativity of sp2 hybridized carbon of phenol to which –OH is attached, electron density decreases on oxygen. This increases the polarity of the O–H bond and results in an increase in ionization of phenols than that of alcohols. Now let us examine the stabilities of alkoxide and phenoxide ions. In alkoxide ion, the negative charge is localized on oxygen while in phenoxide ion, the charge is delocalized. The delocalisation of negative charge makes phenoxide ions more stable and favours the ionization of phenol. 1. Phenol is less acidic than_________. (A) Ethanol (B) o-nitrophenol (C) o-methylphenol (D) o-methoxy phenol 2. Which of the following is most acidic? (A) Benzyl alcohol (B) Cyclohexanol (C) Phenol (D) m-Chlorophenol 3.

30) Nucleophilic substitution reactions are of two types; substitution
nucleophilic bimolecular (SN2) and substitution nucleophilic unimolecular (SN1) depending on molecules taking part in determining the rate of reaction. Reactivity of alkyl halide towards SN1 and SN2 reactions depends on various factors such as steric hindrance, stability of intermediate or transition state and polarity of solvent. SN2 reaction mechanism is favoured mostly by primary alkyl halide or transition state and polarity of solvent, SN2 reaction mechanism is favoured mostly by primary alkyl halide then secondary and then tertiary. This order is reversed in case of SN1 reactions. (i) Which of the following is most reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction? (a) C6H5Cl (b) CH2=CHCl (c) ClCH2CH=CH2 (d) CH3CH=CHCl (ii) Isopropyl chloride undergoes hydrolysis by (a) SN1 mechanism (b) SN2 mechanism (c) SN1 and SN2 mechanism (d) neither SN1 nor SN2 mechanism
