Phenol does not react with carbonates because it is a weak acid and does not produce sufficient H⁺ ions to react with the carbonate ions (CO₃²⁻). In contrast, stronger acids like hydrochloric acid readily react with carbonates to produce carbon dioxide, water, and a salt. The equilibrium between phenol and its conjugate base (phenoxide ion) does not favor the release of H⁺ needed for the carbonate reaction. Thus, phenol remains unreactive towards carbonates under normal conditions.
What else can I help you with?
Does phenol react with bromine?
Yes, at room temperature bromine reacts with phenol and forms 2,4,6-tribromo phenol.
Does a base react with carbonates?
Yes, bases can react with carbonates to form water, carbon dioxide, and a salt. The reaction typically involves the base accepting a proton from the carbonate ion, leading to the formation of carbon dioxide gas.
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.
What is the trend on production of carbon dioxide when metal carbonates react with HCl?
The carbonates of the metals in group I reacts easily.
What is the result when a Lucas test is done on a Phenol?
A positive Lucas test on phenol would indicate that phenol is a strong enough acid to react with Lucas reagent (a mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid and zinc chloride) to form a cloudy solution or a precipitate. This reaction distinguishes phenol from other alcohols that do not react with the Lucas reagent.
What do all carbonates react with?
Carbonates react with hydrochloric acid.
What reacts with carbonates a base or an acid?
As carbonates are mildly basic, anything acid will react with them (releasing carbon dioxide gas).
Is hydrochloric acid the only acid which reacts with carbonates?
No, any strong acid will react with carbonates.
What do you get when acids react with carbonates?
alkali
Does phenol react with bromine?
Yes, at room temperature bromine reacts with phenol and forms 2,4,6-tribromo phenol.
Does phenol react with triiodomethane?
Yes
How does a base reacts with carbonates?
it Doesn't! react:))
Do silicates react with acids as carbonates do?
Silicates generally do not react with acids like carbonates do. Silicates are generally insoluble in common acids due to their strong chemical bonds, whereas carbonates typically react with acids to form carbon dioxide gas, water, and a salt.
Does a base react with carbonates?
Yes, bases can react with carbonates to form water, carbon dioxide, and a salt. The reaction typically involves the base accepting a proton from the carbonate ion, leading to the formation of carbon dioxide gas.

What rocks react to HCl by fizzing?
Limestones and carbonates.
Why only phenol dissolve in aqueous NaOH?
