Question

Phenol is prepared from cumene gibe physical property of phenol

Answer 1

phenol generally heavy high boiling point in comparison to other hydrocarbons.

Answer 2

$\underline \bold{Solution:-}$

Yes, phenol can be prepared from cumene.

The physical properties of phenol are

1) Phenol is a colourless solid/liquid but it can show its colour or even become coloured due to aerial oxidation.

2) Phenol have higher boiling point due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding between it's molecules.

3) Phenol is less stable in water but are soluble in organic solvents like ether, alcohol, etc.
