MCQ
Phenol is more acidic than
- A
- B
- C${C_2}{H_2}$
- ✓Both $(a)$ and $(c)$
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Both $(a)$ and $(c)$
d
(d) Methoxy group due to $+I$ effect increase electron density on $OH -$ group, thus making it less acidic. Thus $o-$ methoxy phenol and acetylene are less acidic than phenol, $p-$ nitrophenol is more acidic than phenol.
