Answer:

(a) > (d) > (c) > (b)

Explanation:

Acidic character is based upon inductive effect of the functional group that are attached to parent chain.

1. Nitro is a -I group which makes phenol acidic due to increased resonance,  2. bromine is a -I group but it is weaker than nitro group

3. phenol is more acidic than cyclohexanol due to resonance stabilization of resonance and among halogen F>Cl>Br>I is the order of acidity

4. cyclohexanol will be weakest as  it is not associated with any -I groups here.

so the order of acidity will be

(a). 4-nitropheno >  (d). 4-bromophenol > (c). 2,6-difluorocyclohexanol  >               (b). cyclohexanol

oee [108]
The answer is C, hydrogen gas. This is because in single replacement reactions, the single element (here Magnesium) replaces whichever element in the compound it corresponds to. Because Mg loses electrons since it’s a metal, it will replace the element which also loses electrons, which is Hydrogen here. So when they switch places, MgCl2 and H2 are made— and H2 is the hydrogen gas.
