The solubility of phenol in water is lower. This can be attributed to:
1. Non-polar nature of phenol
2. Acidic nature of -OH group
3. Non-polar hydrocarbon part in phenol
4. None of the above
Phenol and benzoic acid can be distinguished by:
1. Aqueous NaHCO3
2. Aqueous NaNO3
3. Aqueous NaOH
4. Conc. H2SO4
The products formed in the following reaction, C6H5-O-CH3 + HI are-
1. C6H5OH and CH3I
2. C6H5I and CH3OH
3. C6H5CH3 and HOI
4. C6H6 and CH3OI
Consider the following reaction,
PhenolXYZ
The product Z is
1. toluene
2. benzaldehyde
3. benzoic acid
4. benzene
The ionisation constant of phenol is higher than that of ethanol because -
1. Phenoxide ion is bulkier than ethoxide
2. Phenoxide ion is a stronger base than ethoxide
3. Phenoxide ion is stabilised through delocalisation
4. Phenoxide ion is less stable than ethoxide
