Phenol is acidic in nature. The phenolate anion is stable through resonance. Hence, an acid base reaction ensues between phenol and NaOH in water resulting in the formation of sodium phenolate, which is highly soluble in water compared to phenol.

Is methoxyphenol soluble in NaOH?
Methoxyphenol is a phenol derivative and so, is soluble in water. This means that methoxyphenol will dissolve in an aqueous NaOH solution, but will not react with the NaOH.
Why phenols are soluble in sodium hydroxide?
phenol are soluble in naoh because the reaction between phenol and naoh is exothermic and equilibrium lies to right that makes phenol stable.
Is NaNo3 aqueous?
Yes, any cation that bond with NO3 are soluble and therefore can be aqueous.
What function of sodium hydroxide as solvent?
Aqueous Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) can be used as solvent to help dissolve water insoluble compounds that have an acidic functional group. NaOH reacts with the acidic functional group and forms a water soluble salt. For example, consider R-COOH to be a water-insoluble carboxylic acid. When R-COOH is added to the aqueous NaOH, the following reaction occurs: R-COOH + NaOH(aq) -> R-COO- NA+ + OH- + H3O+ The above reaction produces R-COO- NA+ which is a water soluble salt. This process is sometimes called water solubility by salt formation.
Is sodium benzoate soluble in NaOH?
One gram of the salt is soluble in 2 ml of water, in 75 ml of ethyl alcohol, and in 50 ml of 90 % ethyl alcohol. The salt is insoluble in ethyl ether.

It also includes the solubility in water a variety of temperatures.

Why phenols are soluble in sodium hydroxide?
phenol are soluble in naoh because the reaction between phenol and naoh is exothermic and equilibrium lies to right that makes phenol stable.
Why only phenol dissolve in aqueous NaOH?
Phenol is not dissolved in a sodium hydroxide solution; having the characteristics of a weak acid phenol react with NaOH.
Is NaNo3 aqueous?
Yes, any cation that bond with NO3 are soluble and therefore can be aqueous.
Is NiOH soluble in water?
NaOH is an ionic solid i.e. it dissociates into ions: Na+ which is a cation and OH- which is an anion. Water is a polar molecule, so NaOH is soluble in water. However, if the water solution becomes supersaturated with NaOH and you keep adding NaOH granules, these will not dissolve.
What is the molarity of the aqueous NaOH?
This depends on the mass of NaOH dissolved in 1 L water.

Is lactose soluble in NaOH?
Yes, lactose soluble is NaOH. Sodium is Na always and is water soluble. The website Study Mode has many examples of experiments done to prove that lactose is soluble.
Is sodium hydroxide in water a suspension?
No, NaOH is highly soluble in water.
How can you distinguish between ethene and ethyne by means of a chemical reaction?
Ethyne is acidic in nature and is soluble in aqueous solution of NaOH while ethene does not.
Is NaOH soluble or insoluble?
soluble
