Assertion (A): Carboxylic acids are more acidic than Phenols
Reason (R): Resonance structures of carboxylate ion are equivalent, while resonance structures of phenoxide ion are not equivalent
- A Both and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of \((\mathrm{A})\)
- B Both and (R) are correct But (R) is not the correct explanation of \((\mathrm{A})\)
- C is correct but (R) is incorrect
- D is incorrect but (R) is correct
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Both and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of \((\mathrm{A})\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Carboxylic acid is stronger because its resonating structures more stable than the phenol. Carboxylic acid: Negative charge on more electronegative oxygen atom so both resonating structure are equal. Negative charge is on carbon which leads to less stability of phenoxide than…
