(a) What happens when:
(i) phenol reacts with conc.HNO3.
(ii) Salicycle acid reacts with (CH3CO)2O/H+.
(iii) Ethyl chloride reacts with NaOCH3.
Write the chemical equations involved in the above reactions.
(b) Distiguish between:
(i) Ethanol and Phenol
(ii) Propan -2-ol and 2-methylprpan-2-ol
(a) (i)
(ii)
(iii)
Ethylchloride
(b)(i) Ethanol and phenol
phenol on reaction with Benzene diagonism chloride gives an arange dye whereas ethanol doesnot reacts with it.
(ii) propan-2-0l and 2-methyl propan-2-0l
2-Methylpropan-2-ol on reaction with Luca's reagent gives white turbidty immediately whereas propan-2-ol gives white turbidity after 5 minutes.
