When alcohol reacts with conc. \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\), intermediate compound formed is
1 carbonium ion
2 alkoxy ion
3 alkyl hydrogen sulphate
4 None of the above
Explanation:
Conc. \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\) is an excellent dehydrating agent. Upon reaction with an alcohol, it forms an alkene and water molecule is given out. First step involves protonation of alcohol.

The order of reactivity of the following alcohols towards conc. \(\mathrm{HCl}\) is
1 I \(>\) II \(>\) III \(>\) IV
2 I \(>\) III \(>\) II \(>\) IV
3 IV \(>\) III \(>\) II \(>\) I
4 IV \(>\) III \(>\) I \(>\) II
Explanation:
From (IV). \(1^{\circ}\), Most stable benzyl carbocation Remember that presence of electron-withdrawing intensifies i.e., destabilises the carbocation thus (I) and (II) are less stable than (III). Further (I) is less stable than (II) because - I effect is more pronounced in (I) due to less distance between \(\mathrm{F}\) and + charge. Reactivity of their parent alcohols will be IV \(>\) III \(>\) II \(>\) I.

Decreasing order of reactivity of hydrogen halide acid in the conversion of \({\rm{ROH}} \to {\rm{RX}}\) is
\(\mathrm{HI}>\mathrm{HBr}>\mathrm{HCl}>\mathrm{HF}\).This is due to the fact that, nucleophilicity of a halide ion increases with increase in size. As the size of halide ion increases from \(\mathrm{F}^{\ominus}\) to \(\mathrm{I}^{\ominus}\), thus, \(\mathrm{I}^{-}\)ion will be a better nucleophile followed by \(\mathrm{Br}^{-}, \mathrm{Cl}^{-}\)and \(\mathrm{F}^{-}\).

In the esterification reaction, the correct order of reactivity of alcohols is
During esterification reaction, alcohol loses \(\mathrm{H}^{+}\)which explains its acidic character. Stronger is the acid less tendency to undergo esterification. So, the order is \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OH}>\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{OH}>\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{2} \mathrm{CHOH}\)
