R-OX+HX arrow R-X+H2O , the reaction occurs by SN1 mechanism through carbocation intermediates. Reactivity order of alcohols for this reaction is 3o>2o>1o

Q. In the given reaction, the reactivity order of different alcohols is
$R - O H + H X \to R - X + H_{2} O$

Primary > Secondary > Tertiary

Tertiary > Secondary > Primary

Secondary > Tertiary > Primary

Secondary > Primary > Tertiary

$R - OX + H X \to R - X + H_{2} O$ , the reaction occurs by $S_{N} 1$ mechanism through carbocation intermediates. Reactivity order of alcohols for this reaction is $3^{o} > 2^{o} > 1^{o}$

Q. In the given reaction, the reactivity order of different alcohols is R−OH+HX→R−X+H2​O
