How to distinguish between phenol and cyclohexanol

Two tests

Your Answer

Well the only difference between the two structurally is that cyclohexanol is a cycloalkane and phenol is a cycloaklene so I think that you would be able to separate them by distillation. They would be separated by exploiting their boiling points, the lower distilling first. I think you could use fractional distillation (better for substances with smaller boiling point ranges) too but I don't know much about fractional.
