Answer:
Explanation:
Compare acidity of phenol with that of ethanol. ... (ii) Phenol reacts with sodium hydroxide to give sodium phenoxide and water as by-products. The acidity of phenol is more than that of ethanol. This is because after losing a proton, the phenoxide ion undergoes resonance and gets stabilized whereas ethoxide ion does not.
