Phenol is a stronger acjd than ethanol because. 1.lt is more soluble in water than ethanol so that the phenol molecules have a better chance of donating protons to water molecules. 2. The ethanol molecule is stabilized by delocalization which inhibits the donation of a porton by the OH group. 3.The phenoxide ion is stabilized by delocalization involving the benzene ring, this cannot happen with the ethoxide ion.

Answer should be typewritten using a computer keyboard

Phenol is a stronger acjd than ethanol
because.
41.
1.lt is more soluble in water than ethanol so
that the phenol molecules have a better
chance of donating protons to water
molecules.
2. The ethanol molecule is stabilized by
delocalization which inhibits the donation of
a porton by the OH group.
3.The phenoxide ion is stabilized by
delocalization involving the benzene ring,
this cannot happen with the ethoxide ion.
