Hence, the carboxylic acids are more acidic than phenols. ...Carboxylic acid are more acidic than phenols because the negative charge in carboxylate anion is more spread out as compared to the phenoxide ion as there are two electronegative O-atoms in carboxylate anion in comparison to one in phenoxide ion.

hope it helps ✌✌
