Beacuse ethanol has a CH3,CH2 group, which are electron donating group and decreases the acidity of the compound. Water on the other hand does not have any electron donating group.

Why does ethanol burn differently than ethanol and water mixed?
the main reason why ethanol burns differently then ethanol and water mix is mainly because when you add the water to the ethanol you are making the ethanol less potent so it will burn weaker.
Why is water a better conductor than ethanol?
water contains iron and ethanol doesnt. this is why Water has ions, ( not iron), in a higher concentration than ethanol.
Is 2-naphthol soluble in ethanol?
yes, it is much more soluble in ethanol than in water.
Why does water evaporate quicker than vinegar?
Because the boiling point of alcohol(ethanol) is about 78°C and is lesser than that of vinegar(acetic acid) which is about 118°C
Condensed structural formula of benzyl acetate?
Acetic alcohol is a mixture, not a pure substance. You make it by mixing 3ml acetic acid with 100ml of "absolute alcohol," which is ethanol containing less than 1 percent water by weight. So...you could draw an acetic acid lewis diagram and an ethanol lewis diagram side by side.

Is hydrochloric acid weaker than citric acid?
No, hydrochloric acid is stronger than citric acid.
Is acetic acid stronger than phosphoric acid?
No, acetic acid is much weaker,
Why is water a better conductor than ethanol?
water contains iron and ethanol doesnt. this is why Water has ions, ( not iron), in a higher concentration than ethanol.
Which liquid expands more Ethanol or Water?
Water expands more than ethanol because the boiling point og water is more than that of ethanol.
Why phenol is stronger acid than ethanol?
phenol is aromatic compound stabilized by resonance where as ethanol is aliphatic
Do water acid mercury and alcohol have the same density?
No. They have very different densities. There are several types of alcohol, but for these purposes, we will use ethanol, the alcohol found in drinks. Density of water ≈ 1g/cm3 Density of ethanol = 0.789g/cm3 Density of mercury = 13.5 g/cm3 So water is about 20% denser than alcohol, and mercury is more than 13 times denser than water. Note that the density given from ethanol is for pure ethanol. Most alcoholic beverages are mixtures, with densities between those of water and pure ethanol.
Is acetic acid stronger or weaker than vinegar once formed?
acetic acid is vinegar!
Why acetic acid is weaker than iodoacetic acid?
Yes. due to the presence of electron withdrawing iodo group, iodoacetic acid will be stronger than acetic acid.
Why benzoic acid is comaritively weaker acid than acetic acid?
Because acetic acid have methyl group ,a electron donating group
Would a solution of ethanol and toluene be more effective as a solvent for oleic acid than ethanol alone?
yes cos it is nice
Why the reaction of ethanol acid with magnesium is slower than the reaction of hydrochloric acid with magnesium?
ethanol does not dissociate as much in solution as much as HCl , look up there pka values in future
