| Assertion: Halogen acids react with alcohols to form haloalkanes. |
| Reason: Order of reactivity of halogen acids \[HCl>HBr>HI\] |
| Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the options given below: |
A) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
C) If assertion is true but reason is false.
D) If the assertion and reason both are false.
E) If assertion is false but reason is true.
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
[c] For a given alcohol the order of reactivity of halogen acids follows the sequence\[HI>HBr>HCl\]. It is because of the fact that \[{{I}^{-}}\] is a stronger nucleophile than \[B{{r}^{-}}\] which in turn is a stronger nucleophile than\[C{{l}^{-}}\].
