Case: Read the passage given below and answer the following questions (53-55).

Alcohols and Phenols are acidic in nature. Electron withdrawing groups in phenol increase its acidic strength and electron donating groups decrease it. Alcohols undergo nucleophilic substitution with hydrogen halides to give alkyl halides. On oxidation primary alcohols yield aldehydes with mild oxidising agents and carboxylic acids with strong oxidising agents while secondary alcohols yield ketones. The presence of OH groups in phenols activates the ring towards electrophilic substitution. Various important products are obtained from phenol like salicylaldehyde, salicylic acid, picric acid etc.
