NEET Chemistry Preparation Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Dehydration of ethanol at 413 K leads to the formation of ethoxyethane.
Reason (R): Dehydration of alcohols under specific conditions can proceed via a nucleophilic bimolecular reaction.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true, but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The NCERT context mentions that ethanol is dehydrated to ethoxyethane at 413 K, and the formation of ether is a nucleophilic bimolecular reaction (SN2), thus R explains A.
