The reaction, C ₆ H ₅ ONa + CO ₂+ H ₂ O C ₆ H ₅ OH + NaHCO ₃ suggests that

Options

  1. Aphenol is a stronger acid than carbonic acid
  2. Bcarbonic acid is a stronger acid than phenol
  3. Cwater is a stronger acid than phenol
  4. DNone of these.

Correct answer

B. carbonic acid is a stronger acid than phenol

Step-by-step solution

Since a stronger acid displaces a weaker acid from its salts, therefore, carbonic acid ( CO ₂+ H ₂ O H ₂ CO ₃ ) is a stronger acid than phenol.
