Why aromatic alcohols are more acidic than aliphatic alcohols?

aromatic alcohols undergo resonance which stabilizes the conjugate base, in aliphatic alcohols +I effect of alkyl group increase the -ve charge in the conjugate base thus make it unstable

Which is stronger acid aromatic or aliphatic?
aromatic is more acidic athan aliphatic
Are aliphatic or aromatic aldehydes more soluble in naoh?
yes
Why phenol more acidic than aliphatic alcohol and water?
why phenol more than aliphatic alcohol and water
Why aromatic diazo compounds are more stable than aliphatic diazo compounds?
aromatic diazo compounds are stabilize by resonance where as in alifati it is not found
What is the difference between aromatic and aliphatic compounds?
Aliphatic compounds could be straight chain structures [Acyclic] like alkanes or cyclic structures, like cycloalkanes. Aliphatic compounds are hydrocarbon chains - strings of carbon atoms connected to each other with hydrogen atoms hanging off the sides of the chain. one exception for the definition of aliphatic side chain is Proline which also has aliphatic side chain but the its side chain is bonded to both carbon and nitrogen. Aromatic compounds have benzene ring (older notion). Aromatic compounds are those which follow Huckel's rule. (4n + 2pi) rule. They have the general formula: CnH2n-6 [where n is equal to or greater than 6] Aromatic compounds are rings - so take the chain and connect the two ends together to form a continuous loop.
Why are alcohols considered as weak acids?
Due to resonance RCOO- ion in carboxyllic acid is more stable than that of RCO- ion in alcohols. Carboxyllic acid can more easily furnish H+ ion than that of alcohols. Carboxyllic acid is more acidic than alcohols.
Why phenol is more acidic than ethanol?
phenol is more acidic because of the benzene ring present in the molecule,when you lose the H form the OH group it is possible to delocalise the charge around the aromatic system due to the pi electron cloud,straight chain alcohols cannot do this so it is less favourable to deprotonate them hance it is easier to deprotonate a phenol,hence we say it is more acidic
How can an alcohol change into alkali?
Alcohols don't change into alkalis. Both have a hydroxyl group, but they behave very differently: the alcoholic hydrogen is actually (very) mildly acidic in most cases, more strongly in others ("carbolic acid" is actually phenol, an aromatic alcohol).
Is alcohol acidic or basic?
No, it isn't. It's essentially neutral. Some alcohols are weakly acidic... phenol is one of the more acidic ones, and was at one time even called "carbolic acid."
Does benzoic acid have an odor?
Acetic acid is an aliphatic (fatty) acid and a liquid while benzoic acid is an aromatic acid which exists in solid state.
Is vodka acidic?
Vodka is acidic, however it is one of the least acidic of all alcohols. Do NOT drink with ANY carbonated anything. This will make it HIGHLY acidic. Use water instead and lime or lemon can be added to make it more alkaline.
What is the difference between alochol and oil?
Both alcohols and oil are organic compounds. The hydrocarbons in crude oil are mostly alkanes, cycloalkanes and various aromatic hydrocarbons, and tend not to contain oxygen, nitrogen, etc. Alcohols DO contain oxygen, in the form of the functional -OH alcoholic group. Alcohols are more reactive than the compounds in oil.
