Why is it that aniline has a high boiling point to phenol and phenol has a high boiling point than toluene and toluene has a high boiling point than benzene?

Aniline has a higher boiling point than phenol because aniline can form strong hydrogen bonds due to the presence of an amino group. Phenol has a higher boiling point than toluene because phenol molecules can form intermolecular hydrogen bonds because of the hydroxyl group. Toluene has a higher boiling point than benzene due to the presence of a bulky methyl group which increases Van der Waals forces between toluene molecules.


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


Is phenol soluble in toluene?

Cyclohexene and cyclohexane are both insoluble in water and bases. Cyclohexene is insoluble in weak acids and soluble in strong acids and is thus considered a neutral compound. Cyclohexane is insoluble in everything, and is considered an inert compound.


Which is more polar phenol or ethanol?

Yes , phenol is more polar than toluene. because ph-OH has more dipole moment than Ph-CH3


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.


Explain the purpose of the phenol red in the medium?

To determine if a bacterium can ferment a particular carbohydrate and determine the end products of that fermentation


What is more volatile benzene or toluene?

Yes. The methyl group on toluene causes a shift in electron density making it polar. Benzene is non-polar and has uniform distribution of charge density and has no dipole moment. Toluene, though, would not be more polar than a phenol because the more electronegative oxygen atom (in the alcohol) pulls more electron density from the ring causing a larger dipole moment (separation of charge).


Is toluene an acid or base?

it is slightly acidic, but usually just considered neutral. The ring pulls some electron density away from the methyl group, so that is where a hydrogen would be removed.


Explain the function of phenol red in the urea broth medium?

phenol red act as the pH indicator. As the substrate urea is split into products, the presence of ammonia caused alkaline environment that cause the phenol red to turn to deep pink. Useful to test Proteus vulgaris.


What organic compounds contain the benzene ring?

Some examples of organic compounds that contain the benzene ring are benzene itself, toluene, phenol, aniline, and styrene. These compounds are aromatic hydrocarbons that share the characteristic hexagonal structure of the benzene ring.
