You hit it with steam, and it will hydrolyze into phenol and hydrochloric acid. This isn't a real common way of making HCl, though; the chloralkali process that gives us sodium hydroxide also throws off hydrogen and chlorine, which can be mixed and exposed to UV light to give HCl. But as an educational setup, it's fine.
Most people get their phenol the old-fashioned way, by oxidizing isopropylbenzene. A big reason for doing it that way is the byproduct of the reaction is acetone. If you condense acetone and phenol, you get bisphenol a, which is required if you want to make either polycarbonate (by reacting it with phosgene) or epoxy (by reacting it with epichlorohydrin). 'Course, you can also sell the acetone and phenol separately because there is great demand for both chemicals.

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.
To avoid carcinogenicity by the use of benzene to be chlorinated to become chlorobenzene could it be possible to convert far less toxic toluene to chlorobenzene?
No, it is impossible and useless, besides both chloro-methylbenzene (phenylchloride, as intermediate product) and chlorobenzene (final) are also carcinogenic
Is nitrogen present in chlorobenzene?
The chemical formula of chlorobenzene is C6H5Cl; chlorobenzene don't contain nitrogen.
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.
Where will be NO2 plus group attached in Nitration of chlorobenzene?
According to wikipedia, chlorobenzene is nitrated on an industrial scale to form a mixture of 2-nitrochlorobenzene and 4-nitrochlorobenzene.

How will you synthesis of phenol in small scale'?
There are many known syntheses of phenol. However, a few simple ones are: 1) hydrolysis of chlorobenzene: - chlorobenzene + water --> phenol + hydrochloric acid 2) oxidation of toluene: - toluene + oxygen --> phenol + carbon dioxide + water 3) oxidation of benzene with nitrous oxide: - benzene + nitrous oxide --> phenol + nitrogen

How to convert phenol to aspring?
Phenol is converted to aspirin by adding carboxylic acid and esterifying the alcohol.
Is nitrogen present in chlorobenzene?
The chemical formula of chlorobenzene is C6H5Cl; chlorobenzene don't contain nitrogen.
What is the chlorobenzene boiling point?
The chlorobenzene boiling point is 131 oC.
What reagent you use to convert aniline into chlorobenzene?
First add HNO2 or NaNO2+dil.HCl below 5 degrees celcius.Then add CuCl+HCl.
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 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.
What properties does benzene have to make it good to use?
Convert the benzene into Phenol which is a good antiseptic material.
How easy is it to separate compounds of chlorobenzene and bromobenzene?
The simplest method would be distillation, because bromobenzene has a higher boiling point than chlorobenzene.
