Option (ii) and (iii) are the answers. Benzylic alcohols, as we all know, are molecules with an alcohol functional group on a carbon atom that is directly linked to the Benzene ring. Because the –OH...
Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of boiling point. Propan-1-ol, butan-1-ol, butan-2-ol, pentan-1-ol (i) Propan-1-ol, butan-2-ol, butan-1-ol, pentan-1-ol (ii) Propan-1-ol, butan-1-ol, butan-2-ol, pentan-1-ol (iii) Pentan-1-ol, butan-2-ol, butan-1-ol, propan-1-ol (iv) Pentan-1-ol, butan-1-ol, butan-2-ol, propan-1-ol
Option (i) is the answer As the moleculer mass of the alcohol grows, the boiling point rises. Furthermore, $1^0$ alcohols have greater boiling points than $2^0$ alcohols among isomeric alcohols.
Which of the following compounds will react with sodium hydroxide solution in water? (i) C6H5OH (ii) C6H5CH2OH (iii) (CH3)3 COH (iv) C2H5OH
Option (i) is the answer Because phenols are more acidic than alcohols, they will react with a sodium hydroxide solution in water.
How many alcohols with molecular formula C4H10O are chiral? (i) 1 (ii) 2 (iii) 3 (iv) 4
Option (i) is the answer. Alcohols with the chemical formula $C_4H_{10}O$ can have a variety of structures. A similar chemical formula may be used to make a total of four alcohols. Butan-1-ol,...
Out of o-nitrophenol and o-cresol which is more acidic?
In ortho-nitrophenol, there is an electron-withdrawing group NO2 in the ortho position, which increases the acidic strength and makes it more acidic. There is an electron releasing group in o-cresol...
Write the structures of the isomers of alcohols with molecular formula C4H10O. Which of these exhibits optical activity?
Because Butan-2-ol possesses a chiral carbon atom, it is the only one that displays optical activity.
Arrange water, ethanol and phenol in increasing order of acidity and give a reason for your answer.
Ethanol water phenol ethanol ethanol ethanol ethanol ethanol ethanol ethanol ethanol Because it forms the phenoxide ion after deprotonation and is stabilized by resonance, phenol is more acidic....
