(B) Methanol |
(II) Detection of Phenolic group |
|
(C) Diethylether |
(III) Wood Spirit |
|
(D) Acetylsalicylic acid |
(IV) Analgesic |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → (A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV)
Each compound is matched by its best-known use or test, which follows from its functional group.
(A) Neutral Ferric Chloride — This matches (II) Detection of Phenolic group. Phenols form coloured complexes (violet for phenol) with neutral \( \ce{FeCl3} \) solution, so it is the standard test for the phenolic –OH group.
(B) Methanol — This matches (III) Wood Spirit. Methanol was first made by the destructive distillation of wood, hence the name wood spirit.
(C) Diethylether — This matches (I) Anaesthetic. Diethyl ether was used for a long time as an inhalation anaesthetic in surgery.
(D) Acetylsalicylic acid — This matches (IV) Analgesic. Acetylsalicylic acid is aspirin, which relieves pain and lowers fever.
Shortcut: (A)-(II) appears only in Option (1).
