Phenol may be prepared from phenylamine, $\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{NH}_2$. State the reagents and conditions needed for this reaction.
When phenol is treated with dilute aqueous nitric acid at room temperature, a mixture of two isomeric products with molecular formula $\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{NO}_3$ is formed. Use the Data Booklet to draw the structural formulae of these two products in the boxes and name each product.
When phenol reacts with excess aqueous bromine, draw and name the organic product formed in the box.
Describe two observable changes seen when phenol reacts with excess aqueous bromine.
Write an equation for a neutralisation reaction where phenol acts as an acid.
Water, phenol and ethanol can each act as acids. Arrange them in order of acidity, beginning with the most acidic, and explain your answer.
