Solution
| Column I | Column II | |
| (i) | Antifreeze used in car engine | (e) Ethleneglycol |
| (ii) | Solvent used in perfumes | (f) Ethanol |
| (iii) | Starting material for picric acid | (d) Phenol |
| (iv) | Wood spirit | (c) Methanol |
| (v) | Reagent used for detection of phenolic group | (a) Neutral ferric chloride |
| (vi) | By product of soap industry used in cosmetics | (b) Glycerol |
Explanation:
(i) IUPAC name of ethylene glycol is ethane-1, 2-diol. It is primarily used as raw material in the manufacturing of polyester fibers and fabric industry. A small percentage of it is used in antifreeze formulations.
(ii) Ethanol is a good solvent for fatty and waxy substances. Fats and waxes provide odour to the perfumes. Apart from being a good solvent, it is less irritating to the skin. So, it is used in perfumes.
(iii) Phenol is converted into picric acid (2, 4, 6-trinitro-phenol) by the reaction of phenol with cone. \[\ce{HNO3}\].

(iv) Methanol, \[\ce{CH3OH}\] is also known as ‘wood spirit’ as it was produced by the destructive distillation of wood.
(v) Neutral ferric chloride give purple/red colour when treated with phenols. It is the reagent used for detection of phenolic group.
(vi) Soaps are prepared by the reactions of fatty acid with \[\ce{NaOH}\].

The glycerol (propan-1, 2, 3-triol) is the by product of saop industry and used in cosmetics.
