Why hydroquinone is more acidic than phenol ?

Answers

Answered by anjali4999

Explanation:

Hydroquinone in its enol form will have a conjugated system between two Oxygen atoms at para position. Since, the stability of Conjugate Base of hydroquinone is greater than phenol, due to above stated reason, hydroquinone will lose H+ more readily, and form its CB, thus greater acidic strength.
