A) Phenol is a weak acid
B) Phenol is an aromatic compound
C) Phenol liberates \[C{{O}_{2}}\]from \[N{{a}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\] solution
D) Phenol is soluble in NaOH
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Only the acids stronger than carbonic acid are able to liberate \[\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\]from \[\text{N}{{\text{a}}_{\text{2}}}\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}\]solution. Since, phenol is a weak acid, it does not liberate \[\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\]from \[\text{N}{{\text{a}}_{\text{2}}}\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}\]solution.
