Answer to Problem 18.53AP
Phenol is more reactive than cyclohexanol with an aqueous
Explanation of Solution
The sodium hydroxide is a strong base. It abstracts a proton from the stronger acidic compound and forms its sodium salt. In the given case, sodium hydroxide abstracts a proton from phenol and cyclohexanol and form phenoxide ion and cyclohexanol conjugate base respectively. The phenoxide ion gets stabilized by resonance structures, but this is not possible in case of cyclohexanol conjugate base. It is known that more the stability of the conjugate base more the acidity of the compound. In the given case, phenoxide ion is more stable due to this phenoxide is more acidic. Therefore, phenoxide ion is more reactive toward an aqueous

Explanation of Solution
The sodium hydride is a strong base. It abstracts a proton from the stronger acidic compound and forms its sodium salt and hydrogen gas is evolved. In the given case, sodium hydroxide abstracts a proton from phenol and cyclohexanol and form phenoxide ion and cyclohexanol conjugate base respectively. The phenoxide ion gets stabilized by resonance structures, but this is not possible in case of cyclohexanol conjugate base. It is known that more the stability of the conjugate base more the acidity of the compound. In the given case, phenoxide ion is more stable due to this phenoxide is more acidic. Therefore, phenoxide ion is more reactive toward an aqueous

Interpretation:
The reactivity of cyclohexanol and phenol with concentrated aqueous
Concept introduction:
The phenol is an aromatic compound having a formula,
Answer to Problem 18.53AP
The deactivation of the aromatic ring of phenol makes it less reactive toward concentrated aqueous
Explanation of Solution
Cyclohexanol is more nucleophilic as compared to phenol. It is due to the participation of the lone pair of electrons on oxygen in resonance structures of phenol. Therefore, in the given conditions cyclohexanol reacts more rapidly as compared to phenol. When cyclohexanol undergoes protonation in the presence of
