Phenol, C6H5OH, is a stronger acid than methanol, CH3OH,
Chapter 2, Problem 2(choose chapter or problem)
Phenol, \(\mathrm{C_6H_5OH}\), is a stronger acid than methanol, \(\mathrm{CH_3OH}\), even though both contain an \(\mathrm{O-H}\) bond. Draw the structures of the anions resulting from loss of \(\mathrm{H^+}\) from phenol and methanol, and use resonance structures to explain the difference in acidity
