4 statements are given below. Identify the incorrect statement

A. Phenol has lower $$\mathrm{pK}_{\mathrm{a}}$$ value than $$\mathrm{p}$$-cresol

B. 2-Chlorophenol is more acidic than phenol

C. Ortho and para nitrophenols can be separated by steam distillation since $$\mathrm{p}$$-Nitrophenol is more steam volatile than o-Nitrophenol

D. Phenol on reaction with $$\frac{\mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7^{2-}}{\mathrm{H}^{+}}$$ yields a conjugated diketone

Two statements, Assertion and Reason are given below. Choose the correct option.

Assertion: n-propyl tert-butyl ether can be readily prepared in the laboratory by Williamson's synthesis.

Reason: The reaction occurs by $$\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1$$ attack of Primary alkoxide on Tert-alkyl halide to give good yield of the product, n-propyl tert-butyl ether.

Compounds $$\mathrm{A}$$ and $$\mathrm{B}$$, having the same molecular formula $$(\mathrm{C}_4 \mathrm{H}_8 \mathrm{O})$$, react separately with $$\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{MgBr}$$, followed by reaction with dil. $$\mathrm{HCl}$$ to form compounds $$\mathrm{X}$$ and $$\mathrm{Y}$$ respectively. Compound $$\mathrm{Y}$$ undergoes acidic dehydration in presence of Conc. $$\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4$$ much more readily than $$\mathrm{X}$$. Compound $$\mathrm{Y}$$ also reacts with Lucas reagent, much more readily than $$\mathrm{X}$$, with appearance of turbidity. Identify $$\mathrm{X}$$ and $$\mathrm{Y}$$.

The major product '$$\mathrm{X}$$' of the following reaction is

Which of the following tests may be used to distinguish between phenol and cyclohexanol?

Arrange the following compounds in the decreasing order of their acidic strength.

(I) m-cresol

(II) Phenol

(III) m-aminophenol

(IV) m-methoxyphenol

Which of the following compound cannot be prepared by Williamson's synthesis?

An organic compound $$[\mathrm{A}]\left(\mathrm{C}_5 \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}\right)$$, on reaction with conc. $$\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4$$ at $$443 \mathrm{~K}$$ gives $$[\mathrm{B}]$$ as one of the products. Compound [B] undergoes further reaction with $$\mathrm{O}_3$$ and $$\mathrm{Zn} / \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$$ to give Propanone and Ethanal as products. Identify compound [A]

Match the compounds given in column I with the corresponding most stable Carbocations formed by each, as given in Column II, when they undergo acidic dehydration in presence of Conc. $$\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4$$.

Identify the starting compound from the following data:

$$\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_{14} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{X})$$ on reaction with $$\mathrm{HI}$$ yields a haloalkane (A) and an alcohol (B). Compound (A) on reaction with aqueous $$\mathrm{NaOH}$$ gives an alcohol (C). Compounds (B) and (C) on reaction with $$\mathrm{CrO}_3$$ in anhydrous medium yields Butanone and Ethanal respectively.
