Assertion : In bromine/water, phenol gives 2, 4, 6-tribromophenol while in bromine`//CS_(2)`, a mixture of 2 and 4 bromophenol is formed.
Reason : In aqueous medium, ionisation of phenol is more than in `CS_(2)` solvent.

The reagents used to convert phenol to 2,4,6-tribromophenol is ...

Phenol gives 2,4,6-tribromophenol when treated with bromine in aqueous solution but only o- and p-bromophenol in C Cl_(4) solution because

Explain why phenol with bromine water forms 2,4,6-tribromophenol while on reaction with bromine in CS_(2) at low temperature forms para-bromophenol as the major product .

Statement-I With Br_(2)//H_(2)O phenol give 2,4,6- tribromophenol but with Br_(2) in CS_(2) it give 4-bromophenol as the major product. Because Statement-II: In water, ionization of phenol is enhanced but in CS_(2) . It is greatly suppressed.

Phenol reacts with bromine in CS_2 , to give:
