Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false

Vedclass · Answer

(A) Statement $I$: The acidic strength order of nitrophenols is $p$-nitrophenol $>$ $o$-nitrophenol $>$ $m$-nitrophenol. $p$-nitrophenol is the most acidic due to the strong $-I$ and $-M$ effects of the nitro group at the para position,which stabilizes the phenoxide ion significantly. $o$-nitrophenol is less acidic than $p$-nitrophenol due to intramolecular hydrogen bonding,and $m$-nitrophenol is the least acidic as it only exhibits the $-I$ effect.Statement $II$: Lucas reagent $(conc. HCl + ZnCl_2)$ is used to distinguish between primary,secondary,and tertiary alcohols. Tertiary alcohols give immediate turbidity,secondary alcohols give turbidity in $5-10$ minutes,and primary alcohols (like ethanol) do not give turbidity at room temperature; they only react upon heating.Therefore,Statement $I$ is true and Statement $II$ is false.

Column $-I$	Column $-II$
$(A)$ Methanol	$(1)$ Conversion of phenol to $o-$hydroxybenzoic acid
$(B)$ Kolbe's reaction	$(2)$ Ethyl alcohol
$(C)$ Williamson's synthesis	$(3)$ Conversion of phenol to salicylaldehyde
$(D)$ Conversion of $2^o-$ alcohol to ketone	$(4)$ Wood spirit
$(E)$ Reimer-Tiemann reaction	$(5)$ Heated copper at $573 \ K$
$(F)$ Fermentation	$(6)$ Reaction of alkyl halide with sodium alkoxide

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: $p$-nitrophenol is more acidic than $m$-nitrophenol and $o$-nitrophenol.
Statement $II$: Ethanol will give immediate turbidity with Lucas reagent.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:
