10. (a) (i) The benzene ring has electron withdrawing effect, this makes the O-H
group bond quite polar to donate proton. With NaOH (aq) phenol forms
a stable salt of sodium phenoxide. [1M]
On the other hand, 1-butanol is neutral. The butyl group is rather non-polar [1M]
And this prevent its reaction with NaOH (aq).

(ii) Methanoic acid contains aldehyde group in its structure. Hence just like [1M]
aldehydes it can be oxidised by acidified potassium manganate (VII) [1M]
solution to carbonic 1M
acid which decomposes to carbon dioxide and water.
