Question

why phenol is more acidic than ethyl alcohol?​

Answer 1

Both alcohols and phenols are weak acids , the alcohols are less acidic then phenols because it is very tough to remove the H ion from alcohol.Phenol can lose ion easily because phenoxide ion formed is stabilised to some extent. So hence it's acidic nature increases as compared to ethanol.
