Chemistry-Properties of Phenols

NEET Chemistry Properties of Phenols Match the Following Question

Type: Match the Following-match the column-Medium-Class 12

Match Column-I with Column-II.

Column-I Column-II (a) 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (i) Less acidic than phenol (b) Phenol (ii) Most acidic among phenols (c) 3-nitrophenol (iii) More acidic than ethanol (d) Ethanol (iv) Less acidic than 3-nitrophenol

Choose the correct matching:

A

a-ii, b-iii, c-iv, d-i

B

a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv

C

a-iv, b-ii, c-i, d-iii

D

a-ii, b-i, c-iii, d-iv

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

2,4,6-trinitrophenol is the most acidic among phenols due to the strong electron-withdrawing effect of the nitro groups. Phenol is more acidic than ethanol but less acidic than 2,4,6-trinitrophenol, and 3-nitrophenol is more acidic than ethanol but less than 2,4,6-trinitrophenol.
