Both the statements are correct and statement 2 correctly describes statement 1.
Explanation:
- Phenol is the benzene hydroxide and ethanol is the alkylic hydroxide.
- Phenoxide, the corresponding base is resonance stabilized but ethanol isn't.
- So Phenoxide is more stable than ethoxide.
- Kolbe's reaction is the process by which the sodium salt of phenoxide reacts with carbon dioxide in presence of sulphuric acid to form salicylic acid.
- This reaction is possible because of the stability of phenoxide as an ion which gives chance to proceed with the reaction.
- So both the statements are correct and statement 2 correctly describes statement 1.
