Question

Assertion :STATEMENT-1 : An alcohol does not react with Cl ion in aqueous medium, but reacts with concentrated HCI solution to form alkyl chloride. Reason: STATEMENT-2 : The strong acid (HCI) accelerates the removal of proton from OH group of alcohol.
  1. STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is True; STATEMENT-2 is a correct explanation for STATEMENT-1
  2. STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is True; STATEMENT-2 is NOT a correct explanation for STATEMENT-1
  3. STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is False
  4. STATEMENT-1 is False, STATEMENT-2 is True

A
STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is True; STATEMENT-2 is NOT a correct explanation for STATEMENT-1
B
STATEMENT-1 is False, STATEMENT-2 is True
C
STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is True; STATEMENT-2 is a correct explanation for STATEMENT-1
D
STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is False
Solution
Verified by Toppr

HCl is a strong acid and protonates the oxygen atom of alcohol.
ROH+HClROH+2+Cl
Water is a better leaving group than chloride ion. Hence alkyl chloride is formed along with a molecule of water.
ROH+2+ClRCl+H2O
