AnswerCorrect option: D. Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.
ln $p-$nitrophenol, $-NO_2$ group has $-I$ effect, as a result of which electron density decreases on the benzene ring, hence reactivity towards electrcphihc substitution decreases. Methoxy group shows both $+R\ ($due to lone pair of electrons on $O)$ and $-I$ effect $($due to greater electronegativity of $O). -OCH_3 $ at meta$-$position shows only $-I$ effect but lesser than $-I$ effect of $-NO_2$ group.

- C
Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
- ✓
Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.
AnswerCorrect option: D. Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.
The ease of dehydration of alcohols can be explained on the basis of stability of the intermediate carbocation.
Greater the stability of the carbonation formed, greater will be the rate of reaction. The order of stability of carbocation formed is:
This is due to the electron releasing $(+I)$ effect of the alkyl groups. Therefore, the ease of dehydration of alcohols follows the order: Tertiary $>$ Secondary $>$ Primary Dehydration of alcohols proceed through carbocation formation. View full question & answer→MCQ 191 Mark

- ✓
Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
- D

AnswerCorrect option: C. Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
Due to the presence of hydroxyl group $(-OH),$ there is extensive hydrogen bonding between the ethanol molecules $\ce{(C_2H_5OH)}$. But there is no such hydrogen bonding in dimethyl ether $($due to absence of $-OH$ group$)$. So, boiling point of dimethyl ether is much lower than ethanol.
