Question

why phenol is more acetic then alcohol?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Here's Your Answer

Explanation:

●Alcohols and Phenols

Phenol is more acidic than cyclohexanol and acyclic alcohols because the phenoxide ion is more stable than the alkoxide ion. ... These substit- uents stabilize the phenoxide ion by further delocalizing the negative charge. Phenols substituted with electron-donating groups are less acidic than phenol.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\fbox\red{your ans}$

phenol react with aqueous sodium hydroxide to produce phenoxide ion this indicates that the acidity of phenols is higher in comparison to the alcohol the phenoxide ion is established by the delocalization of negative charge due to resonance in the benzene ring
