Phenol, also known as carbolic acid, is an aromatic organic compound with the molecular formula C6H5OH . It is a white crystalline solid with a distinctive odor. Phenol is slightly soluble in water and highly soluble in organic solvents. It is a weak acid and can react with bases to form salts.
What is the organic solvent for phenol?
Phenol is a volatile white crystalline solid, with a distinct sweet and tarry odor. It is sparingly soluble in water (8.3 g/100 mL at 20 °C), but soluble in most organic solvents, such as ethanol, methanol, diethyl ether, acetone, chloroform. Phenol has a melting point of 40.5 °C and a boiling point of 181.7 °C.
What is phenol insoluble in?
You can recognise phenol because: It is fairly insoluble in water. It reacts with sodium hydroxide solution to give a colourless solution (and therefore must be acidic).
