Multiple Choice QuestionsGiven are cyclohexanol (I), acetic acid (II), 2,4,6-trinitropenol (III) and phenol (IV). In these, the order of decreasing acidic character will be
III > II> IV> I
II > III> I > IV
II > III> IV> I
II > III> IV> I
Among the following four compounds
A) Phenol
B) Methyl Phenol
C) meta - nitrophenol
D) para-nitrophenol
the acidity order is
D > C > A > B
C > D > A> B
A > D > C > B
A > D > C > B
A.
D > C > A > B
An electron withdrawing group (-I showing group like -NO2, -CN) stabilises the phenoxide ion, thus when present, increases the acidity of phenol. On the other hand, the electron releasing groups (+I showing group like -CH3, -C2H5), when present, decrease the acidity of phenol by destabilising phenoxide ion. Hence, the correct order of acidity of given compound is
p-nitrophenol > m-nitrophenol > phenol > methyl phenol
Consider the following reaction,

The order of decreasing reactivity towards an electrophilic reagent, for the following:
i) Benzene
ii) Toluene
iii) Chlorobenzene
iv) Phenol
would be:
(i) > (ii) > (iii) > (iv)
(ii) > (iv) > (i) > (iii)
(iv) > (iii) > (ii) >(i)
(iv) > (iii) > (ii) >(i)
