The order of reactivity of hydrogen halides with an alcohol is

The order of reactivity of hydrogen halides with an alcohol is
  1. $\mathrm{HCl}>\mathrm{HBr}>\mathrm{HI}$
  2. $\mathrm{HCl} < \mathrm{HBr} < \mathrm{HI}$
  3. $\mathrm{HCl}>\mathrm{HBr} < \mathrm{HI}$
  4. $\mathrm{HCl} < \mathrm{HBr}>\mathrm{HI}$

Solution

The order of reactivity is $\quad \mathrm{HCl} < \mathrm{HBr} < \mathrm{HI}$.
