The major product in the given reaction is
- A toluene
- B \(p\)-methyl toluene
- C benzene
- D \(o\)-methyl benzene
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) benzene
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The reaction of phenol with zinc dust under heating conditions is a standard reduction reaction. When phenol (\(C_{6}H_{5}OH\)) is heated with zinc dust, the zinc acts as a reducing agent and removes the oxygen atom from the hydroxyl group to form zinc oxide (\(ZnO\)). The…

COMEDK 2025 Hard - Identify the correct IUPAC name of the following compound.
\(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CN}\)COMEDK 2015 Easy - Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other labelled as Reason (R). Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Assertion (A): The molality of KCl solution at 25°C is 5 m. (Given molar mass of KCl is 74.5 g/mol). When the solution is cooled to -10°C, the molality of the solution remains unchanged.
Reason (R): The molality of the solution does not change with temperature as the mass remains unaffected with temperature.COMEDK 2025 Medium
