Why phenol more acidic than aliphatic alcohol and water?
why phenol more than aliphatic alcohol and water
Which one have higher boiling point alcohol or phenol?
Phenol has a higher boiling point than alcohol does; it has a stronger dipole difference in its -OH group.
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.
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.
What is the function of phenol chloroform isoamyl alcohol in plasmid isolation?
it helps in the removal of proteins from nucleic acid
Why phenol more acidic than aliphatic alcohol and water?

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.
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?

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?
No, it is no alcohol, it is a substituted phenol and is acidic in nature, while alcohols are neutral,.
What are the differences between phenol and alcohol?
Phenol is an aromatic alcohol, i.e. it has the alcohol functional group (-OH) attached to a benzene ring. It is also known as carbolic acid, and was the first antiseptic. Alcohol can be any of a large number of compounds that contain the -OH group bonded to a carbon atom. The most common, and often just referred to as "alcohol" is ethyl alcohol, which is CH3CH2OH.
What the Difference between the alcohol and phenol?
Alcohol: C6H13OH (hydroxy-hexane) Phenol : C6H5OH (hydroxy-benzene) Phenolic -OH is acidic (4x stronger than vinegar) where s alcoholic -OH isn't acidic at all; both are NOT ionic or alkaline (OH-)
What is the function of phenol chloroform isoamyl alcohol in plasmid isolation?
