JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 7. Alcohol, phenol and ethers

What amount of bromine will be required to convert 2 g of phenol into 2,4,6-tribromophenol? (Given molar mass in \(\mathrm{g} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}\) of \(\mathrm{C}, \mathrm{H}, \mathrm{O}, \mathrm{Br}\) are \(12,1,16,80\) respectively )

  1. A 20.44 g
  2. B 4.0 g
  3. C 6.0 g
  4. D 10.22 g
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 10.22 g

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \text { Moles of phenol }=\frac{2}{94}=0.021 \\ & \therefore \text { Moles of bromine }=0.021 \times 3=0.064 \\ & \therefore \text { Mass of bromine }=0.064 \times 160=10.22 \mathrm{~g}\end{aligned}\)
