Phenol can be prepared from phenylamine, $\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{NH}_2$. State the reagents and conditions for this reaction.
Phenol reacts with dilute aqueous nitric acid at room temperature to produce a mixture of two isomeric compounds with molecular formula $\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{NO}_3$. Use the Data Booklet to sketch the structural formulae of these two products in the boxes and label each one.
Phenol reacts with excess aqueous bromine. Draw and name the organic product of this reaction in the box.
Describe two visible observations that occur when phenol reacts with an excess of aqueous bromine.
Write an equation for a neutralisation reaction in which phenol acts as an acid.
Water, phenol and ethanol can all act as acids. Put these three compounds in order of acidity, starting with the most acidic. Explain your answer.
