Phenol is an acid but does not react with sodium bicarbonate

Answer 1

$\huge\star\underline\mathfrak\red{Answer}$

phenol is an acid but it does not react with sodium bicarbonate soln. ... The acidic character of phenol is due to the presence of polar O-H group. Because of larger electro negativity of oxygen atom, the electron pair of O-H bond is withdrawn more towards O and H+ ion can be easily released in aqueous solution
