Given below are two statements: Statement I: The conversion proceeds well in the less polar medium. CH ₃- CH ₂- CH ₂- CH ₂- Cl HO ⁻ CH ₃- CH ₂- CH ₂- CH ₂- OH + Cl ^ (-) Statement II: The conversion proceeds well in the more polar medium. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
Options
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true
- BStatement I is true but Statement II is false
- CStatement I is false but Statement II is true
- DBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
Correct answer
A. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Step-by-step solution
This reaction will proceed faster in less polar medium which will not increase the activation energy value. This reaction will proceed faster in more polar medium which will decrease the activation energy value.
