Specify the molecular ratio in which each of the following acid-base pairs will react:
a) HCl and Ca(OH)2
b) H2CO3 and Ca(OH)2
Phenols are aromatic rings with an alcohol functional group attached directly to the ring. These compounds have unique acidity and solubility for alcohol groups. Phenolic functional groups are weak acids. Predict the solubility of the conjugate base of phenol in water.
