Answer:
Phenol is a stronger acid than water due to resonance in phenol.
Explanation:
Phenol is a stronger acid than water because after losing the hydrogen atom it becomes a phenoxide ion. There are five resonating structures of phenoxide ion that become highly stable.
On the other hand, water loses hydrogen, and it becomes a hydroxide ion. It is not stable as a phenoxide ion.
Therefore, phenol is a stronger acid than water.
