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

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]
