    Answer:

    Phenols react with aqueous sodium hydroxide to produce phenoxide ions. This indicates that the acidity of phenols is higher in comparison to the alcohols. The phenoxide ion is stabilized by the delocalization of negative charge due to the resonance in the benzene ring.

    Answer:

    Phenol is more acidic than alcohol due to resonance stabilization of the phenoxide ion.
