Assertion (A) Addition reaction of water to but-1-ene in acidic medium yields butan-1-ol.
Reason (R) Addition of water in acidic medium proceeds through the formation of primary carbocation.

Options

A. Assertion and reason both are correct and reason is correct explanation of assertion.
B. Assertion and reason both are wrong statements.
C. Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
D. Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.

Answer

b

Explanation

Assertion and reason both arw wrong statements.
Correct Assertion Addition reactio of water to but-1-ene in acidic medium yields butan-2-ol.
Correct Reason Addition of water in acidic medium proceeds through the formation of secondary carbocation.
Mechanism `H_(2)O+H^(+) rarr H_(3)O^(+)`
`CH_(3)-CH_(2)-CH=CH_(2)+H underset(":")overset(":")(O_(+))-H rarr H_(3)C-underset((2^(@) "carbocation"))(CH_(2)-overset(+)(CH)-CH_(3))+H_(2)O`
`{:(H_(3)-CH_(2)-overset(+)(CH)-CH_(3)+H_(2)O rarr H_(3)C-CH_(2)-CH-CH_(3)),(" |"),(" "+:O-H),(" |"),(" "H):}`
`H_(3)C-CH_(2)-overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(CH_(2))-underset(..)overset(H)overset(|)(O)-H+H_(2)O rarr CH_(3)-underset("Butane-2-ol")(CH_(2)-overset(OH)overset(|)(CH)-CH_(3))`
