The electron withdrawing ability of the aromatic ring and its subsequent ability to delocalize the charge around the pi electron cloud of the ring, make the phenol Hydrogen fairly acidic. This reacts well with the alkaline sodium hydroxide. The H on the alcohol is not acidic.

Is phenol soluble in sodium hydroxide?
yes
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.
Sodium hydroxide soluble or low sulbility?
sodium hydroxide is soluble becauce it is an alkali metal
Is benzaldehyde soluble in sodium hydroxide?
no
What happens in the reaction between phenol and sodium hydroxide?
Phenol is an acid while sodium hydroxide a base so it is acid base reaction forming the salt sodium phenoxide and water. C6H5-OH + NaOH = C6H5-ONa + H2O
Is phenol soluble in sodium hydroxide?
yes
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 sucrose soluble in sodium hydroxide?
No, sucrose is not soluble in sodium hydroxide without water.
Sodium hydroxide soluble or low sulbility?
sodium hydroxide is soluble becauce it is an alkali metal
Why phenol is soluble in Sodium bi-carbonate?
Sodium bicarbonate is a solid, so no.
Does ethanoic acid soluble in water and sodium hydroxide?
Ethanoic acid is fully soluble in water, but it will react with sodium hydroxide.
Is benzaldehyde soluble in sodium hydroxide?
no
Sodium oxide soluble?
Sort of. Sodium oxide reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide, which is soluble.
Why phenol is more stable in sodium hydroxide than in water?
Because in sodium hydroxide it forms phenoxide ion which is stabilized by solvolysis.
Is iron III oxide soluble in sodium hydroxide?
No, it is hardly soluble in sodium hydroxide though it is amphoteric. It's better in (hydrochloric) acid.
What happens in the reaction between phenol and sodium hydroxide?
Phenol is an acid while sodium hydroxide a base so it is acid base reaction forming the salt sodium phenoxide and water. C6H5-OH + NaOH = C6H5-ONa + H2O
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.
