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.
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 phenol easier or more difficult to substitute with bromine than benzene?
The substitution reactions of phenol are easier than benzene, phenol directly reacts with bromine and gives tribromo phenol while benzene requires FeCl3 as a catalyst and gives mono bromo phenol.
What is the word equation for phenol and bromine water?
Phenol + 3Br2 = 2,4,6-tribromophenol + 3HBr Everything you need to know :) http://www.chemguide.co.uk/organicprops/phenol/ring.html
Balanced equation for the reaction of phenol and sodium carbonate?
There is no reaction between phenol and sodium carbonate
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?
It s the structure and bonding of Aniline, Phenol, Benzene and Toluene that causes the differences in the boiling points.
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
Which is more polar phenol or ethanol?
Yes , phenol is more polar than toluene. because ph-OH has more dipole moment than Ph-CH3

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

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.
Structure of phenol?
phenol
Is phenol volatile?
Phenol is flammable.
Which is stronger acid ethanol or phenol?
phenol
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.
