JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 7. Alcohol, phenol and ethers
Given below are two statements. Statement \(I :\) Phenols are weakly acidic. Statement \(II :\) Therefore they are freely soluble in \(NaOH\) solution and are weaker acids than alcohols and water. Choose the most appropriate option
- A Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are correct.
- B Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are incorrect.
- C Statement \(I\) is correct but Statement \(II\) is incorrect.
- D Statement \(I\) is incorrect but Statement \(I I\) is correct.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Statement \(I\) is correct but Statement \(II\) is incorrect.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Phenol are weakly acidic. Phenol is more acidic than alcohol and \(H _{2} O\) statement \((I)\) is correct. \((II)\) is incorrect.
