WEEKLY TEST FOR ALCOHOL AND PHENOL (2)
Class 12 - Chemistry
1. Fill in the blanks:
(i) 1. Hydroboration-oxidation
(ii) 1. Grignard
(iii) 1. HCI-ZnCI2
(iv) 1. More
(v) 1. Higher
(vi) 1. Aqueous Br2
(vii) 1. More
(viii)1. Intermolecular
2.
Since the OH group is above the Br in priority table so we have start numbering from OH
3. The IUPAC name of is 2-Methylphenol.

4. The process of breaking down large molecules into smaller one in the presence of biological catalysts is called fermentation we
RM
can prepare ethyl alcohol from molasses or starch by fermentation.

5. CH3 - C - CH3 + CH3 Mgl −−→
CA
The action of Grignard reagent on ketones give tertiary alcohols.
6. When benzene diazonium chloride is heated with water it will form phenol. This reaction shows the nucleophilic substitution
reaction on the Diazonium group.
7. CrO3, pyridine, and HCl (Pyridinium chlorochromate, PCC) in CH2C12. PCC is very specific to oxidize alcoholic group to
aldehyde.
8. The acidic strength of alcohols decreases in the order 1°>2°>3°.
Therefore, Propan-1-ol is stronger acid than propan-2-ol.
9. Alcohols are soluble in water because of hydrogen bonding with water molecules.

The solubility decreases with an increase in the size of the alkyl or aryl group.

12. Add neutral FeCl3 solution, phenol gives violet colour whereas benzoic acid does not.
13. Ortho nitrophenol is much more volatile in steam due to chelation. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding is present in o-nitrophenol
and intermolecular hydrogen bonding in p-nitrophenol.
