Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The chemical reaction of phenol with zinc dust is given by: \(C_6H_5OH + Zn \xrightarrow{\Delta} C_6H_6 + ZnO\) Product X is benzene (\(C_6H_6\)). Molar mass of phenol (\(C_6H_5OH\)) = \(6 \times 12 + 6 \times 1 + 16 = 94\) g mol\(^{-1}\) Number of moles of phenol taken =…
