Hey☃️⛄️
Answer:
Alcohols do show acidic character. Alcohols contain active H.
Active hydogens are those which attached to EN elements like N, O,F. Alcohols after releasing H+ ion forms alkoxide ion.
Alcohols react with Na and liberate hydrogen.
Alchols react with acids to form esters. This is due to O-H bond breaking of alcohol and C-O bond of carboxylic acid
