Which one of the following properties is exhibited by phenol ?

A

It is soluble in aq. NaOH and evolves `CO_2` with aq.`NaHCO_3`

B

It is soluble in aq. NaOH and does not evolve `CO_2` with aq. `NaHCO_3`

C

It is not soluble in aq. NaOH but evolves `CO_2` with aq. `NaHCO_3`

D

It is insoluble in aq. NaOH and does not evolve `CO_2` with aq. `NaHCO_3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Phenol is soluble in NaOH forming sodium phenoxide.
`C_6H_5OH+NaOHtoC_6H_5ONa+H_2O`
But phenol does not evolve `CO_2 with aq. `NaHCO_3` .
