Answer» Solution :Osomers of the COMPOUND with molecular formula `C_(3)H_(8)O` are (a) `CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)-OH` IUPAC Name : 1-propanol (b) `H_(3)C-underset(OH)underset(|)OVERSET(H)overset(|)(C)-CH_(3)` IUPAC Name : 2- propanol (c) `H_(3)C-O-C_(2)H_(5)` IUPAC Name : Methoxy ethane Uses of PHENOL : (1) Phenol is used as an antiseptic for surgical instruments, as an oral analgesic, in the procuction of drugs, in COSMETICS and to embalm bodies. (2) Phenol formaldehyde adhesives are generally hot press adhesives used extensively in the manufacture of plywood and other wood products such as flakeboard, oriented strand board etc. (c) When glucose is treated with hydrogen cyanide (HCN), glucose cyanohydrin is formed `{:(CHO,,CN,),("|",HCN,"|",),((CHOH)_(4),to,CH-OH,),("|",,"|",),(CH_(2)OH,,(CHOH)_(4),),("Glucose",,"|",),(,,CH_(2)OH,),(,,"Glucose Cyanohydrin",):}` |
