    Class 12 Alcohols, Phenols, and Ethers MCQs

    1. To get carboxylic acids directly from alcohol, which of the


    following oxidising agents is used?
    a) Alkaline KMnO4
    b) Aqueous KMnO4
    c) Acidified KMnO4
    d) Anhydrous CrO3
    Answer: c
    Explanation: Strong oxidizers, such as acidified potassium
    permanganate or acidified potassium dichromate, convert
    alcohol to carboxylic acid immediately. Using CrO3 as the
    oxidising agent in an anhydrous media, however, only aldehyde
    can be produced.
    2. When phenol reacts with bromine water, what is the result?
    a) Brown liquid
    b) Colourless gas
    c) White precipitate
    d) No reaction
    Answer: c
    Explanation: When phenol is treated with bromine water, a
    white precipitate is formed, which is 2,4,6-Tribromophenol.
    3. The Lucas test was carried out on three different
    compounds: A, B, and C. Compounds A and B were turbid at
    ambient temperature, while compound C did not become turbid
    until it was heated. Which one of the compounds is tertiary in
    structure?
    a) A
    b) Cannot be determined
    c) C
    d) A and B
    Answer: b
    Explanation: It is stated that A and B exhibit turbidity at room
    temperature, however, it is not stated whether the turbidity
    appears immediately or over a period of time. So compounds A
    and B may be tertiary or secondary depending on whether
    turbidity appears immediately or after 5 minutes respectively.
    Compound C may be primary.
    4. Which of the following compounds is formed when
    secondary alcohols are oxidised by [O]?
    a) Ether
    b) Aldehyde
    c) Ketone
    d) Amine
    Answer: c
    Explanation: The oxidation of secondary alcohols by a nascent
    oxygen atom [O] yields the ketone molecule.
    5. Which of the following processes does not result in the
    production of alcohol?
    a) Acid catalysed hydration of alkenes
    b) Free radical halogenation of alkanes
    c) Reduction of aldehydes
    d) Hydroboration-oxidation of alkenes
    Answer: b
    Explanation: When alkanes are halogenated by free radicals,
    they form a mixture of haloalkanes rather than alcohols.
    Alcohols can be made from alkenes through acid catalysed
    hydration, and hydroboration-oxidation, and from aldehyde
    reduction.
    6. The conversion of trialkyl borane to an alcohol does not
    require which of the following?
    a) Sodium hydroxide
    b) Water
    c) Diborane
    d) Hydrogen peroxide
    Answer: c
    Explanation: In the presence of aqueous NaOH, trialkyl
    boranes are oxidised by hydrogen peroxide to produce alcohol.
    This conversion does not require diborane, although it is
    required for the creation of trialkyl boranes.
    7. Ethers may be used as solvents because they react only with
    which of the following reactants?
    a) Oxidising agent
    b) Bases
    c) Acids
    d) Reducing agents
    Answer: c
    Explanation: Nucleophiles and bases cannot attack ether.
    However, because of their capacity to solve cations by giving
    an electron pair from an oxygen atom, they are excellent
    solvents in many chemical reactions. Ethers are less reactive
    than alcohols and react only with acids.

    8. An aryl carbon can be found in which of the following


    compounds?
    a) Ethanol
    b) Phenol
    c) Vinyl alcohol
    d) Benzyl alcohol
    Answer: b

    Explanation: An aryl carbon is the sp2 hybridised carbon of an


    aromatic ring to which the hydroxyl group is connected. The OH
    group is connected to an aryl carbon in phenol.
    9. It’s called ether when the alkyl groups connected to either
    side of the oxygen atom in an ether are different.
    a) mixed
    b) symmetrical
    c) simple
    d) diethyl
    Answer: a
    Explanation: A mixed or unsymmetrical ether is one in which
    the alkyl or aryl groups on either side of the O atom differ.
    10. Which of the following alcohols is not polyhydric?
    a) Propylene glycol
    b) Ethylene glycol
    c) Cyclohexanol
    d) Benzene-1,2-diol
    Answer: c
    Explanation: Polyhydric alcohols include two or more hydroxyl
    groups and are classified as glycols in the common system or
    diols and triols in the IUPAC system.
