how can i make saturated phenol solution from phenol ?

Answer 1

1) Decide what solvent you want to use: water or organic?
2) Decide how much solution you want: 1L?
3) Check the solubility of phenol in the solvent you choose. And calculate how much phenol you'll need by weight to make a saturated solution
4) Find out the relationship between solubility and temperature.
5) I assume you want to make a saturated phenol solution at room temperature. If the solubility increases as temperature goes higher, add a bit more phenol than needed (from the calculation above) to the solvent.
6) Heat the flask or beaker that contains the solvent and phenol until all phenol dissolves.
7) Let the container cool down to room temperature.
8) If no phenol crystalizes the solution is over-saturated. You may rub the side of the flask or beaker to help phenol crystalize.
9) You have your saturated phenol solution!!

Answer 2

add more and more phenol to the solution until it starts to crystallize.

Answer 3

Add some water.
