Phenol, C6H5OH, is an acidic organic compound for which K₂ = 1.3 x 10-10. The structure of phenol is a benzene ring with an -OH
replacing a hydrogen atom on one of its six carbon atoms. Because phenol has this -OH group, you might think that the -OH would
ionize and make phenol a base. Actually, the O-H bond is very weak and phenol acts as an acid by ionizing the H* ion. What is the pH
of a 0.47 M solution of phenol in water?
pH=ễ
