Describe concisely a chemical test to distinguish between the following pairs of compounds. (a) n-pentanol and 3-methylpentan-3-ol (b) Ethanal dan pentanal (c) Phenol and benzoic acidarrow_forward
- (a) One test for the presence of an alkene is to add a smallamount of bromine, which is a red-brown liquid, and lookfor the disappearance of the red-brown color. This test doesnot work for detecting the presence of an aromatic hydrocarbon.Explain.

- (a) Give chemical tests to distinguish between compounds in the following pairs of substances :(i) Ethanol and Propanal (ii) Benzoic acid and Ethyl benzoate(b) An organic compound contains 69.77% carbon, 11.63% hydrogen and rest oxygen. The molecular mass of the compound is 86. It does not reduce Tollen’s reagent but forms an addition compound with sodium hydrogen sulphite and gives positive iodoform test. On vigorous oxidation it gives ethanoic and propanoic acids. Derive the structure of the compound.arrow_forward(a) When bromine is added to two beakers, one containing phenyl iso propyl ether and the other containing cyclohexene, the bromine color in both beakers disappears. What observation could you make while performing this test that would allow you to distinguish the alkene from the aryl ether?
