Phenol is more acidic than alcohol
Asked by admin @ in Chemistry viewed by 413 People
Give three reasons that phenols are more acidic than alcohols.
Answered by admin @
Answer:
Phenols react with aqueous sodium hydroxide to produce phenoxide ions. This indicates that the acidity of phenols is higher in comparison to the alcohols. The phenoxide ion is stabilized by the delocalization of negative charge due to the resonance in the benzene ring.
