Answer:
phenol is more acidic than ethanol. Answer: Phenols are more acidic than phenols because delocalization of electrons takes place in phenols by resonance . Phenol loses its hydrogen to form the phenoxide ion which resonates and stabalizes itself ,thus this loss of electrons makes phenol more acidic than alcohols.

Answer:
The acidic substance has the tendency to produce H+ ion when dissolved in water. Both phenol and ethanol weak acid. However, the acidity of phenol is more than that of ethanol. This is because after losing a proton, the phenoxide ion undergoes resonance & gets stabilized whereas ethoxide ion does not.
