Answer:

Explanation:

In phenols there is a benzene ring bonded to a hydroxyl group. The acidity of phenols is due to its ability to lose hydrogen ion to form phenoxide ions. ... In the case of ethanol there is no such electron with drawing group and the hydrogen attached to oxygen can't be easily separated
