Question

acidic nature of phenol​

Answer 1

Answer:

phenol is a weak acid

Answer 2

Answer:    

Phenol is a very weak acid and the position of equilibrium lies well to the left. Phenol can lose a hydrogen ion because the phenoxide ion formed is stabilised to some extent. The negative charge on the oxygen atom is delocalised around the ring. ... That is why phenol is only a very weak acid.
