➡Acidity of phenol when an electron releasing groups increase is present

$\huge\mathbb{Answer}$✔

➡The acidity of phenols is due to its ability to lose hydrogen ion to form phenoxide ions. The resonance structures of phenoxide ions explain the delocalization of negative charge. In case of substituted phenols, acidity of phenols increases in the presence of electron withdrawing group.

Answer 2

Acidity of phenol will decrease because there is loss in electron
