You add a specific ionic compound in a solution to determine if phenol or any of its derivatives are present. Ferric chloride (FeCl3) for example, can be used for such tests. Basically, when you mix the solution with the compound, the ions will interact with the phenol molecules or groups, and as a result, the solution will briefly change color. If there is no colour change in the solution, this suggest there is no phenol or phenol-based molecules in your solution.

What are the biochemical tests for identification of virus?
You can't use a Biochemical test to ID a virus.
Is phenol volatile?
Phenol is flammable.
Why is polycarbonate added to glass?
Polycarbonate is one of those materials that was discovered by accident. A chemist named Einhorn was trying to make cyclic carbonates by reacting phosgene (a very dangerous chemical later used as a chemical warfare agent) with hydroquinone (a phenol used largely as a film developing agent) and got an insoluble solid. Tests at Bayer in the 1950s to find the best phenol led to the discovery the phenol used in epoxy, bisphenol A, was the right phenol to use in polycarbonate.
What are some examples of a phenol?
What are some examples of Phenol
Does phenol react with bromine?
Yes, at room temperature bromine reacts with phenol and forms 2,4,6-tribromo phenol.
Biochemical tests for identification of cyanobacteria?
Biochemical tests for identification of cyanobacteria
What are two tests distinguish between ethanol and phenol?
with water ethanol is soluble while methane is in soluble
What does the positive KMnO4 test indicate?
It means that it tests positive for either aldehyde, alkene, or phenol functional groups.
What are the common biochemical tests used in identification of bateria?
The most common biochemical tests are gram stain, oxidase, catalase and coagulase tests. However, there are literally hundreds of biochemical tests that are commonly used to identify bacteria. For further information, check out MicrobeID.com, where you can find identification methods, keys, probabilistic databases, selective and differential media guides, as well as book reviews releated to bacterial identification. I would also recommend Bergey's Manual of Deterministic Bacteriology.

Compare and contrast the different simple tests for mineral identification presented in the lesson?
There are several different tests that can help identify minerals. You can use any of them to determine the sample.
