Vedclass · Answer

(D) Phenol $(C_6H_5OH)$ is a weak acid. It reacts with strong bases like $NaOH$ and $KOH$ to form phenoxide salts. It also reacts with alkali metals like $Na$ to evolve $H_2$ gas. However,phenol is a weaker acid than carbonic acid $(H_2CO_3)$. Therefore,it does not react with sodium bicarbonate $(NaHCO_3)$ to evolve $CO_2$ gas. The reaction is: $C_6H_5OH + NaHCO_3 ightarrow 	ext{No reaction}$.

Phenol does not react with which of the following?
