(A) The reaction of chlorobenzene with aqueous $NaOH$ at high temperature $(300\,^oC)$ and high pressure is known as the $Dow$ process.In this reaction,the chlorine atom is replaced by a hydroxyl group to form sodium phenoxide,which upon acidification gives phenol.The reaction is: $C_6H_5Cl + 2NaOH \xrightarrow{300\,^oC, 	ext{pressure}} C_6H_5ONa + NaCl + H_2O$.$C_6H_5ONa + H^+ ightarrow C_6H_5OH$ (Phenol).
