KCET · Chemistry · Alcohols Phenols and Ethers
Phenol can be distinguished from ethanol by the reagent
- A Bromine water
- B Sodium metal
- C Iron metal
- D Chlorine water
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Bromine water
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Phenol reacts with bromine water to gives a white ppt. of \( 2,4,6 \)-tribromophenol. Whereas, alcohol does not react with
bromine water.
Phenol
\( 2,4,6 \)-Tribromophenol
(White ppt.)
