explain why phenol is more acidic than ethyl alcohol

Answers

Answered by sam4341

Answer:

Phenols react with aqueous sodium hydroxide to produce phenoxide ions. This indicates that the acidity of phenols is higher in comparison to the alcohols. The phenoxide ion is stabilized by the delocalization of negative charge due to the resonance in the benzene ring.

Answered by pankhurikanoo25

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.
