Question

Phenol is acidic but do not react with na2co3​

Answer 1

Answer:

As other acids, They turn blue litmus red and react with alkali metals and alkalies to form their salts. ... Phenol is a weaker acid than carboxylic acid, Hence it does not react with sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

As,

we know that

Benzene is an aromatic compound which has resonance stability.

and

Also

$reactivity \propto \frac{1}{stability}$

So,

reactivity of benzene is very low.

so it does not react with any compound.

____________________________

As Phenol is a derivative of benzene so it will also have resonance stability.

Hence, you do not react with Na2CO3.
