Phenol and Benzoic acid

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.
\[\ce{6C6H5OH + FeCl3 -> [\underset{Violet complex}{Fe(OC6H5)6]^{3-}} + 3H^{+} + 3HCl}\]
\[\ce{\underset{Benzoic acid}{3C6H5COOH} + FeCl3 -> \underset{Buff coloured ppt.}{(C6H5COO)3Fe} + 3HCl}\]
