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

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.
