The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements regarding the common names of certain organic compounds are correct, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the first statement**: - The first statement claims that the common name of benzene-1,2,3-triol is pyrogallol. - **Structure**: Benzene with three hydroxyl (OH) groups attached to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd carbon atoms. - **Common Name**: This is indeed correct; the common name for benzene-1,2,3-triol is pyrogallol. 2. **Identify the second statement**: - The second statement claims that the common name of benzene-1,2,4-triol is hydroxyquinol. - **Structure**: Benzene with hydroxyl groups at the 1st, 2nd, and 4th positions. - **Common Name**: This is also correct; the common name for benzene-1,2,4-triol is hydroxyquinol. 3. **Identify the third statement**: - The third statement claims that the common name of benzene-1,3,5-triol is phloroglucinol. - **Structure**: Benzene with hydroxyl groups at the 1st, 3rd, and 5th positions. - **Common Name**: This is correct; the common name for benzene-1,3,5-triol is phloroglucinol. 4. **Identify the fourth statement**: - The fourth statement claims that CH2=CH-Ph (styrene) is correct. - **Structure**: This structure represents styrene, which consists of a vinyl group (CH2=CH) attached to a phenyl group (Ph). - **Common Name**: This is correct; the common name for this compound is indeed styrene. ### Conclusion: After analyzing all four statements, we find that: - **Statement 1**: Correct (pyrogallol) - **Statement 2**: Correct (hydroxyquinol) - **Statement 3**: Correct (phloroglucinol) - **Statement 4**: Correct (styrene) Thus, **all statements are correct**. ### Final Answer: All statements are correct. ---
