Give reasons:
1Acid catalyzed dehydration of t-butanol is faster than that of n-butanol.
2Propanol, unlike propane is soluble in water.
!hen t-butanol and n-butanol are separately treated with a few drops of dilute "#n$
%
, in one case only
purple colour disappears and a brown ppt is for&ed. !hich of the two alcohols 'ive above reaction and what
is brown ppt(
%)he solubility of alcohols decreases with increase in &olecular wei'ht.
5t-butyl alcohols react less rapidly with &etallic sodiu& than the pri&ary alcohol.
* Alcohols cannot be used as solvent for Gri'nard rea'ent.
+)he boilin' point of three alcohols is in the order.
n-butyl alcohol, sec butyl alcohol, t-butyl alcohol -.plain this order
/ 0nlike phenols, alcohols are easily protonated.
1 0nlike phenol, 2, %-dinitrophenol and 2, %, *- trinitrophenol are soluble in a2ueous sodiu& carbonate
solution.
13 Alcohols react with halo'en acids or phosphorous halides to for& 4aloalkanes but phenol does not for&
halobenzenes.
11Account for lower boilin' point and decreased water solubility of 3-nitrophenol as co&pared with their &
and p-iso&ers.
12 !hy has phenol hi'her boilin' point than toluene(
1 !hy do ethers have lower boilin' points than iso&eric alcohols(
1% !hy do alcohols and iso&eric ethers have co&parable water solubilities(
15 6oilin' point of acetone is 21" while that of propanal is 22 " althou'h both have the sa&e &olecular
&ass.
1*!hy are nucleophilic addition reactions of carbonyl co&pounds catalyzed by protonic acids(
1+ !hen aryl alkyl ether is cleaved with halo'en acid one of the product is always phenol.
1/ Anisole cannot be prepared by treatin' 6ro&obenzene with sodiu& &etho.ide(
11 7odiu& &etal can be used for dryin' diethyl ether but not for ethanol.
236oilin' point of tertiary alcohols is less than that of secondary alcohols.
21 6oilin' point of butanol is 'reater than propanol.
227olubility of tertiary he.anol is 'reater than nor&al he.anol.
2 -thers have net dipole &o&ent.
2% 8iethyl ether behaves as a 9ewis base.
25 Alcohols are acidic in nature.
2* Alcohols act as 6ronsted bases as well.
2+$rtho and paranitrophenols are &ore acidic than phenols whereas cresols are less acidic than phenols.
2/Phenols do not under'o reactions involvin' cleava'e of :$4 bond.

3 $.idation of toluene with :r$

1Althou'h Aldehydes are easily o.idisable yet propanal can conveniently be prepared by the o.idation of
propanol by acidic dichro&ate.
2;n the preparation of acetaldehyde fro& ethanol by o.idation, it is distilled out as it is for&ed.
