Interpretation:
The balanced chemical equation for each of the given reaction is to be written.
Concept Introduction:
Phenols contain hydroxyl
Phenols undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction due to the presence of the hydroxyl group that activates itself towards electrophilic substitution. The hydroxyl group causes the resonance effect due to which the ortho and para positions of phenol ring become electron rich.
