NEET Chemistry Properties of Phenols Match the Following Question
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 |
a-ii, b-iii, c-iv, d-i
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-iv, b-ii, c-i, d-iii
a-ii, b-i, c-iii, d-iv
Correct Answer
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.
