Alcohol can act as both an acid and a base, similar to water. Alcohols are slightly weaker acids than water but still react with strong bases such as sodium hydride and metals such as sodium. However, the oxygen atom makes alcohol a weaker base in the presence of strong acid-like sulfuric acid.
At the -OH group, alcohol can act as either a base or an acid, reacting either way with strong acids or bases. This reaction often results in the salt called alkoxide
