Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To distinguish between phenol (C₆H₅OH) and acetic acid (CH₃COOH), we can perform a simple test using sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃). Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Prepare the Samples**: Take two separate test tubes. In one test tube, add a few drops of phenol (C₆H₅OH) and in the other test tube, add a few drops of acetic acid (CH₃COOH). 2. **Add Sodium Bicarbonate**: To both test tubes, add a small amount of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) powder. ...
