When a mixture of 1-hexanol and hexanoic acid in diethyl ether is shaken with an aqueous NaHCO3 solution, then which of the following is right distribution?
In ether | In sodium bicarbonate solution |
Sodium hexanoate | 1- hexanol |
1- hexanol | Hexanoic acid |
1- hexanol | Sodium hexanoate |
Hexanoic acid | 1- hexanol |
The correct order of increasing acidic strength is
phenol < ethanol < chloroacetic acid < acetic acid
ethanol < phenol < chloroacetic acid < acetic acid
ethanol < phenol < acetic acid < chloroacetic acid
chloroacetic acid < acetic acid < phenol < ethanol
C.
ethanol < phenol < acetic acid < chloroacetic acid
Due to-I effect of Cl, chloroacetic acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid. Further due to stablisation of phenoxide ion by resonance and no such stabilisation in case of ethoxide ion, phenol is a stronger acid than ethanol.
Hence, overall acidic strength increases in the order: Ethanol < phenol < acetic acid < chloroacetic acid
The best method for the conversion of an alcohol into an alkyl chloride is by treating the alcohol with
PCl3
PCl5
SOCl2 in presence of pyridine
dry HCl in the presence of anhydrous ZnCl2
Ethyl alcohol reacts with thionyl chloride to give
CH3CH2Cl + HCl
CH3CH2Cl + H2O + SO2
CH3CH2Cl +HCl + SO2
CH3CH2Cl +SO2 + Cl2
The best method to separate the mixture of ortho and para nitrophenol (1 : 1) is
vaporisation
colour spectrum
distillation
crystallisation
Lucas reagent is
anhy. ZnCl2 and NH3
anhy. ZnCl2 and CaCl2
anhy. ZnCl2 and conc. HCl
anhy. ZnCl2 and conc. HCl gas
