32. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
The reaction of phenol with aqueous sodium hydroxide indicates that
phenols are stronger acids than alcohols and water. Due to the higher
electronegativity of sp2 hybridized carbon of phenol to which –OH is
attached, electron density decreases on oxygen. This increases the
polarity of the O–H bond and results in an increase in ionization of
phenols than that of alcohols. Now let us examine the stabilities of
alkoxide and phenoxide ions. In alkoxide ion, the negative charge is
localized on oxygen while in phenoxide ion, the charge is delocalized. The
delocalisation of negative charge makes phenoxide ions more stable and
favours the ionization of phenol.
