Discuss briefly, the relative rates of reaction of HBr with respect to primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols.

Assertion: The order of reactivity of alkyl halides towards S_(N^1) reaction in tertiary halidegtsecondary halidegtprimary halide. Reason: The reaction follows carbocation mechanism.

Alcohols undergo acid catalysed elimination reactions to produce alkenes. Because water is lost in the elimination , this reaction is called dehydration reaction. Secondary and tertiary alcohols always give E1 reaction in dehydration. Primary alcohols whose beta -carbon is branched also give E1 reaction. The reactivity of alcohol for elimination reaction is tertiary alcohol gt secondary school gt Primary alcohol. Identify the product in the given reaction :

Assertion: The order of stability of carbocations is 3^(@) gt 2^(@) gt 1^(@) Reason: Carbon atom in carbocation is in sp^(3) state of hybridisation.

Alcohols undergo acid catalysed elimination reactions to produce alkenes. Because water is lost in the elimination , this reaction is called dehydration reaction. Secondary and tertiary alcohols always give E1 reaction in dehydration. Primary alcohols whose beta -carbon is branched also give E1 reaction. The reactivity of alcohol for elimination reaction is tertiary alcohol > secondary alcohol > Primary alcohol. Which of the following dehydration product (major ) is incorrect ?

A : The dehydration of ethyl alcohol in presence of Al_(2)O_(3) at 633 K gives ethene. R : The reaction proceed through the formation of carbocation intermediate.
