Is 1-hexanol more acidic or less acidic than phenol?
1-hexanol is an alcohol so it is a neutral compound not an acid while phenol is a strong acid.
Why normal ferric chloride is not used in detection of phenol?
Normal solution of ferric chloride is acidic in nature and phenol is also acidic so neutral ferric chloride is more useful.
Which is stronger acid ethanol or phenol?
phenol
Which one give violet color with neutral ferric chloride Salicylaldehyde glycerol benzyl alcohol ethanol?
i think phenol............
Why phenol is stronger acid than ethanol?
phenol is aromatic compound stabilized by resonance where as ethanol is aliphatic

Is ethanol acidic neutral or alkaline?
Almost neutral. Please see the link.
Why phenol is more acidic than ethanol?
phenol is more acidic because of the benzene ring present in the molecule,when you lose the H form the OH group it is possible to delocalise the charge around the aromatic system due to the pi electron cloud,straight chain alcohols cannot do this so it is less favourable to deprotonate them hance it is easier to deprotonate a phenol,hence we say it is more acidic
Why normal ferric chloride is not used in detection of phenol?
Normal solution of ferric chloride is acidic in nature and phenol is also acidic so neutral ferric chloride is more useful.
Which is stronger acid ethanol or phenol?
phenol
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.
Suggest a chemical test(s) to distinguish ethanol and phenol. Include the reagents reaction conditions and observations. And the equation?
Phenol solution, or phenol directly from the manufacturer?If the phenol is in the form it comes in from the factory, no chemical test is necessary. Phenol is a white crystalline solid.If it's dissolved in water, the easiest test is pH. Phenol solution is more acidic than ethanol. So...whatever you use for a pH test will do ya.

Is p-nitrophenol a third degree alcohol?
No, it is no alcohol, it is a substituted phenol and is acidic in nature, while alcohols are neutral,.
Why phenol is stronger acid than ethanol?
phenol is aromatic compound stabilized by resonance where as ethanol is aliphatic
What is more stronger acetic acid or ethanol?
Acetic acid is a stronger acid. Ethanol is an alcohol which is slightly acidic but usually neutral in nature.
Is alcohol acidic or basic?
No, it isn't. It's essentially neutral. Some alcohols are weakly acidic... phenol is one of the more acidic ones, and was at one time even called "carbolic acid."
