Give four properties of phenol to show how it differ from alcohol?
1-Phenol (carbolic acid) is acidic in nature and turns blue litmus red while alcohol (ethanol) does not, 2-phenol gives violet or blue colour with neutral ferric chloride solution while alcohol does not, 3-phenol freezes to a solid in fridge while alcohol does not, 4-phenol produces bubbles on rough iron surface while alcohol does not.
Is phenol an alcohol?
Yes,phenol is an alcohol.It contains a benzene ring and a hydoxile group.
How to convert phenol to aspring?
Phenol is converted to aspirin by adding carboxylic acid and esterifying the alcohol.
Which one have higher boiling point alcohol or phenol?

Role of phenol chloroform isoamyl alcohol in plasmid DNA extraction?
The actual role of phenol chloroform isoamyl alcohol in a plasmid DNA extraction is to purify the DNA. The alcohol will act in part as a detergent.
What are the major differences between alcohol and phenol?
Chemically, the major difference between phenol and alcohol is that phenol is a hydroxyl unit attached to a benzene ring and alcohol has a hydroxyl unit attached to a carbon chain. More generally the major difference is that swallowing a small amount of phenol can kill you. Swallowing a small amount of alcohol (ethanol) may give you a buzz, but you would have to drink a great deal for it to kill you quickly.

Can iso amyl alcohol replace phenol in DNA extraction?
No
Why is the boiling point of phenol greater than alcohol?
This is because the intermolecular forces holding the molecules of phenol together are stronger than the intermolecular forces holding the molecules of alcohol together.
Is p-nitrophenol a third degree alcohol?
