Phenol can be distinguished from ethanol by the reactions with _________.

(i) {Br_{2}}/{water}

(ii) Na

(iii) Neutral FeCl_{3}

(iv) All the above

Answers (1)

The answer is the option (i) and (iii). Phenol can easily be distinguished from ethanol by adding bromine water as it results in a white ppt of tri-bromo phenol  or Neutral FeCl_{3} can also be used for this purpose. But ethanol being aliphatic alcohol will not react with either of the compounds. So, the right answer is option (i) and (iii)
