Q. Which of the following compound is most acidic ?

KCETKCET 2016Alcohols Phenols and Ethers

Solution:

Acidic nature is directly proportional to the stability of anion when acidic H is removed. Since in Phenol negative charge formed after the removal of acidic H will be delocalized in the whole ring. Hence it will be most stable. So phenol will be most acidic compound.
