Give a simple chemical test to distinguish between the following pair of compounds:
Phenol and Benzoic acid
Advertisements
उत्तर १
Phenol and benzoic acid can be distinguished by ferric chloride test. In the ferric chloride test, phenol reacts with neutral FeCl3 to make an iron-phenol complex that turns violet.
\[\ce{\underset{Phenol}{6C6H5OH} + FeCl3 -> \underset{(Violet colour)}{\underset{Iron-phenol complex}{[Fe(OC6H5)6]^3-}} + 3H+ + 3Cl-}\]
But benzoic acid reacts with neutral FeCl3 to give a buff coloured ppt. of ferric benzoate.
\[\ce{\underset{Benzoic acid}{3C6H5OH} + FeCl3 ->\underset{(Buff coloured ppt)}{\underset{Ferric benzoate}{(C6H5COO)3Fe}} + 3HCl}\]
उत्तर २
Benzoic acid reacts with NaHCO3 to release CO2 gas with effervescence, whereas phenol does not.
Phenol Br2 decolourises water to give white precipitate but does not give benzoic acid.

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.
