CBSE TEST PAPER-05

CLASS - XII CHEMISTRY (Alcohols, phenols and Ethers)

[ANSWERS]
Topic:- Miscellaneous Question

1. Industrial alcohol (ethyl alcohol) is made unfit for drinking purpose by addition of a small
quantity of poisonous substance, methanol. This is called denatured alcohol. For denaturation,
copper sulphate or pyridine can also be added.

2. Uses of methanol:-
i) It is used for denaturing alcohol.
ii) It is used as a solvent for paints & varnishes.

3. The order is C2H5OH< H2O <C6H5OH.

4. The main product will be 2,4,6-tribromophenol.

5. Presence of peroxides in ethers is detected by addition of freshly prepared FeSO4 and KCNS.
Appearance of blood red colour confirms the presence of peroxide. They can be removed by
shaking ethers well with FeSO4 solution.

6. Primary tertiary and secondary alcohols can be distinguished by oxidation reaction.


Primary alcohols give aldehyde with CrO3

R C H 2 O H  C
rO 3
→ RCHO

Secondary alcohols give ketone with CrO3.

R 2 C H O H  C
rO 3
→ R 2CO

Tertiary alcohol do not get oxidized with CrO3

R3COH CrO
3 → No reaction

7. Lucas test is used for distinguishing between primary secondary and tertiary alcohols. When a
tertiary alcohol is dissolved in Lucas reagent (Conc. HCl + ZnCl2) it produces turbidity
immediately where as secondary alcohols produce turbidity after some time and primary
alcohols do not react at all and no turbidity is product.

8. Picric acid is 2,4,6 – trinitrophenol

It is prepared from phenol by nitration with conc. HNO3.

9. Wood spirit is methanol. It is so called because earlier it was obtained from destructive
distillation of wood only.

10. Ethanol can be prepared by fermentation of sugar –

C12 H 22 O11 + H 2 O  Invertase


 
enzymes
→ C 6 H 12 O 6 +C 6 H 12 O 6
Sugar Glucose fructose

C 6 H 1 2 O 6  en
 → 2C 2 H 5 O H + 2 C O 2
