प्रश्न
Write chemical test to distinguish between the following compounds:
Phenol and Benzoic acid
Advertisements
उत्तर
Phenol and Benzoic Acid can be distinguished by the iron chloride FeCl3 test. As phenol gives violet colouration with neutral FeCl3, solution while benzoic acid gives buff-coloured precipitate of ferric benzoate.
\[\ce{6C6H5OH + FeCl3 -> [\underset{Violet complex}{Fe(OC6H5)6]^{3-}} + 3H^{+} + 3HCl}\]
\[\ce{\underset{Benzoic acid}{3C6H5COOH} + FeCl3 -> \underset{Buff coloured ppt.}{(C6H5COO)3Fe} + 3HCl}\]

An organic compound contains 69.77% carbon, 11.63% hydrogen and rest oxygen. The molecular mass of the compound is 86. It does not reduce Tollens’ reagent but forms an addition compound with sodium hydrogensulphite and give positive iodoform test. On vigorous oxidation it gives ethanoic and propanoic acid. Write the possible structure of the compound.

The correct set of products obtained in the following reactions:
- \[\ce{RCN ->[reduction]}\]
- \[\ce{RCN ->[(i) CH3MgBr][(ii) H2O]}\]
- \[\ce{RNC ->[hydrolysis]}\]

You are given four organic compounds “A”, “B” , “C” and “D”. The compounds “A”, “B” and “C” form an orange-red precipitate with 2, 4 DNP reagent. Compounds “A” and “B” reduce Tollen’s reagent while compounds “C” and “D” do not. Both “B” and “C” give a yellow precipitate when heated with iodine in the presence of NaOH. Compound “D” gives brisk effervescence with sodium bicarbonate solution. Identify “A”, “B”, “C” and “D” given the number of carbon atoms in three of these carbon compounds is three while one has two carbon atoms. Give an explanation for our answer.
