why CH3CHO more reactive than C6H5CHO towards reaction with HCN

CH3CHO is more reactive than CH3 – CO – CH3 due to the smaller +I effect (positive inductive effect) of one methyl group. CH3CHO is less hindered than CH3 – CO – CH3 towards nucleophile (Nu ¯) . As a result nucleophilic addition reactions occur more in CH3CHO.
now it's 2nd part I hope u will understand
Carboxylic acid is more acidic than phenol as carboxylate ion is much more resonance stabilized than phenoxide ion. Hence, release of a proton from carboxylic acid is much easier as compared to phenol.
Hope this clears your doubt.
