Describe a simple chemical test that could be used to distinguish between members of each of the following pairs of compounds (a
) 4-Chlorophenol and 4-chloro-1-methylbenzene (c) 4-Methylphenol and 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (b) 4-Methylphenol and 4-methylbenzoic acid (d) Ethyl phenyl ether and 4-methylphenol
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
(A) Phenol gives violet color by complexation with Fe3+ solution . It is best identification...
(B) For b , same phenolic test can be done ...But other esterification is also possibility...
(C) Picric acid has a particular identification test ,
(D) Here , like the first one , phenolic test with FeCl3 gives violet color for 4-ethylphenol and no color for ethyl phenyl ether...

A stable arrangement of eight valence electrons : ³⁵Cl⁻¹
<h3>Further explanation</h3>Chlorine is a halogen gas, located in group 17, p block
Chlorine has an atomic number of 17 and an atomic mass of 35
Electron configuration: [Ne] 3s²3p⁵
If we look at the electron configuration, then Cl will bind 1 more electron so that the configuration is stable like Argon (atomic number 18)
So by binding this one electron, chlorine forms negative ions (anions)
³⁵Cl⁻¹
B. Cl⁻² binds 2 electrons, exceeding the octet rule
C. Cl⁺¹, releases 1 electron, remains unstable
D. Cl, the neutral form of Cl, is still unstable with a 7-electron valence configuration
