Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
Which of the following statements about phenols is true?
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Understand what phenols are. Phenols are organic compounds that contain a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to an aromatic ring.
Step 2: Learn about the hydroxyl group. The hydroxyl group can release a hydrogen ion (H+), which is what makes a substance acidic.
Step 3: Recognize that weak acids do not completely dissociate in water. Phenols do not fully release their hydrogen ions, making them weak acids.
Step 4: Conclude that the statement about phenols being weak acids is true because they can donate a proton from the hydroxyl group.
