Assertion: Ethers behave as bases in the presence of mineral acids.
Reason: It is due to the presence of a lone pair of electrons on the oxygen.
If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion.
If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion.
If the assertion is true but the reason is false.
If both the assertion and reason are false.
Assertion: Phenol is a weaker acid than ethanol.
Reason: Groups with +M effect and -I effect decrease acidity at m-position.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is a correct explanation of the assertion.
If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion.
If the assertion is true but the reason is false.
If both the assertion and reason are false.
D.
If both the assertion and reason are false.
Phenol is a stronger acid than ethanol. This is due to the resonance stabilization of the phenolate ion which is produced after deprotonation.
But there is no such stabilization in the case of ethanol.
C2H5OH C2H5O- + H+
The groups with +M and -I effect to decrease the acidity at p-position, but at m-position, the acidity is increased due to -I effect.
