In the given reaction
the number of sp2 hybridised carbon(s) in compound ‘X’ is _____.
The correct answer is 8
Note that phenyl ring has sp2 carbons as well.
Alcohols undergo a number of reactions involving the cleavage of C – OH bond. However, phenols do not undergo reactions involving the cleavage of C – OH bond. Alcohols are weaker acids than water. Alcohols react with halogen acids to form the corresponding haloaklanes. Phenols are stronger acids than alcohols. A charac- teristic feature of phenols is that they undergo electrophilic substitution reactions such as halogenation, nitration, etc. Since –OH group is a strong activating group, phenol gives trisubstituted products during halogenation, nitration, etc.
20 mL of sodium iodide solution gave 4.74 g silver iodide when treated with excess of silver nitrate solution. The molarity of the sodium iodide solution is _____ M. (Nearest Integer value) (Given : Na = 23, I = 127, Ag = 108, N = 14, O = 16 g mol$^{-1}$)
Alcohol is a derivative of water (H2O) that has one, two, or more hydroxyl groups that are attached to a carbon atom of a hydrocarbon chain (an alkyl group). It is one of the most common organic compounds used in sweeteners, fragrances, and medicine.
