Chemical name of cumene?

Cumene is the common name the IUPAC standard name is Isopropylbenzene


How will you convert phenol to 246 trinitrophenol?

very easy, a single step reaction. When phenol is heated with Concentrated Nitric acid 2,4.6-trinitrophenol (Picric acid) is produced.


How do you convert chloro benzene to p-nitro phenol?

I'd do it this way. Use Dow's Process (NaOH) to convert chlorobenzene to phenol. Now, use nitrating mixture to get both o and p- nitrophenol. Fractional distillation should give you what you finally need.


Cumene is a compound containing only carbon and hydrogen that is used in the production of acetone and phenol in the chemical industry Combustion of 47.6 mg cumene produces some CO2 and 42.8 mg water?

The molar mass of H2O = 2 + 16 = 18 g/mol. The ratio of H in H2O is therefore 2/18 = 1/9. Thus, amount of H in 42.8 mg H2O = 42.8 * 1/9 = 4.76 mg. This must then be the amount of H in the 47.6 mg cumene. Subtracting, 47.6 - 4.76 = 42.84 mg, is therefore the amount of C in the cumene. Summarising: 47.6 mg cumene = 42.84 mg C + 4.76 mg H Converting mass of C and H to millimoles, we have : C = 42.84 /12 = 3.57 mmol and H = 4.76/1 = 4.76 mmol. The molar ratio C:H is therefore 3.57:4.76. Dividing each by the smallest (that is, 3.57) gives : C:H = 1:1.33 Now, multiplying each by 3 brings us to the integers : C:H = 3:4 So the empirical formula for cumene is C3H4. This has a molar mass of 3*12 + 4*1 = 40 g/mol. Given that the molar mass is between 115 g/mol and 125 g/mol, if we multiply 40 by 3, this gives 120 g/mol, smack bang in the middle. So, molecular formula of cumene is C9H12.


How to convert benzynoic acid to phenol?

You must initially convert it into benzene then heat it with Zn dust. And add CH3-Cl+anhydrous AlCl3 followed by hot concentrated KMnO4.

How do you use a phenopthalene indicator?

phenols can be prepared by the following methods. 1) hydrolysis of cholorobenzene: in this process, chlorobenzene which can be obtained by the cholorinationof benzene, is heated at 350*C under high pressure with aqueous sodium hydroxide to get sodium phenoxide, which on acidification yields phenol. 2) pyrolosis of sodium benzenesulphonate: this, the first commercial process for industrial synthesizing phenol , was developed in Germany in 1890. sodium benzenesulphonate is melted with sodium hydrooxide at 350*C to produce sodium phenoxide, which on acidification yields phenol. 3) oxidaton of cumene: benzene is alkylated with propene to produce cumene, which is oxidized with air to produce cumene hydroperoxide, which on treatment with 10% sulfuric acid undergoes a hydrolytic rearrangement to yield phenol and acetone.

How to convert aniline to picric acid?

React aniline with HCl/NaNO2 (diazotisation) followed by reaction with KOH to give phenol. Nitration of phenol with fuming nitric acid gives picric acid (or trinitrophenol).
