ANSWER KEYS &
EXPLANATIONS
TOPIC: ALCHOL &
PHENOL
1. Answer key: A
Explanation: According to IUPAC rules, the longest
chain has four carbon atoms and the –OH group is on
the second carbon → 2-butanol.
2. Answer key: B
Explanation: Alcohols contain the hydroxyl
functional group, written as –OH.
3. Answer key: A
Explanation: Ethanol forms hydrogen bonds, which
increases its boiling point compared to others like
propane or ethers.
4. Answer key: C
Explanation: (CH3)3COH is a tertiary alcohol because
the carbon bonded to –OH is attached to three other
carbon atoms.
5. Answer key: C
Explanation: At 170°C with conc. H2SO4, alcohol
undergoes dehydration to form ethene.
6. Answer key: B
Explanation: KMnO4 is a strong oxidizing agent that
oxidizes primary alcohols to carboxylic acids.
7. Answer key: C
Explanation: Phenol reacts with bromine water to
form 2,4,6-tribromophenol, a white precipitate.
8. Answer key: A
Explanation: Phenol has strong intramolecular
hydrogen bonding due to its –OH attached to an
aromatic ring.
9. Answer key: B
Explanation: Lucas test distinguishes alcohols based
on their reactivity: tertiary > secondary > primary.
10. Answer key: B
Explanation: Phenol reacts with sodium to release
hydrogen gas forming sodium phenoxide.
11. Answer key: B
Explanation: Esterification occurs between ethanol
and acetic acid forming ethyl acetate in acidic
medium.
12. Answer key: B
Explanation: CH3CHOHCH3 has the –OH group on a
carbon attached to two other carbons → secondary
alcohol.
13. Answer key: C
Explanation: Phenol cannot undergo Friedel-Crafts
alkylation easily due to the deactivating effect of the
–OH group on AlCl3.
14. Answer key: A
Explanation: Phenol is more acidic due to resonance
stabilization of the phenoxide ion after losing H⁺.
15. Answer key: D
Explanation: Phenol reacts with dilute HNO3 to give
both o-nitrophenol and p-nitrophenol.
16. Answer key: C
Explanation: Tertiary alcohols like (CH3)3COH give
immediate turbidity in Lucas test due to fast
carbocation formation.
17. Answer key: B
Explanation: HBr reacts with ethanol by substitution,
forming bromoethane and water.
18. Answer key: B
Explanation: Phenol is a benzene ring with a
hydroxyl (–OH) group.
19. Answer key: C
Explanation: Phenol reacts with concentrated HNO3
to give 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (picric acid).
20. Answer key: C
Explanation: Williamson synthesis is used to prepare
ethers by reacting alkoxide with alkyl halides.
