Chemistry Question on Phenols
The products of combustion of an aliphatic thiol (RSH) at 298 K are
A
CO2(g),H2O(g) and SO2(g)
B
CO2(g),H2O(l) and SO2(g)
C
CO2(l),H2O(l) and SO2(g)
D
CO2(g),H2O(l) and SO2(l)
Answer
CO2(g),H2O(l) and SO2(g)
Explanation
Solution
Thiol, RSH, on combustion produces CO2(g),SO2(g) and H2O(l). At 298K,H2O will be in liquid phase
