Alcohols, Phenol and Ethers

Phenol is

Assertion: Alcohols have higher boiling points than ethers of comparable molecular masses. Reason: Alcohols and ethers are isomerism in nature.

Assertion (A) Boiling points of alcohols and ethers are high. Reason (R) They can form intermolecular hydrogen-bonding.

Explain why alcohols and ethers of comparable molecular mass have different boiling points?

Distinction between pairs of compounds Phenol and Benzyl alcohol. 1. Litmus Test. 2. Bromine water test.

Why are carboxylic acids more acidic than alcohols or phenols although all of them have hydrogen atom attached to a oxygen atom (-O-H)?

All the Phenols are

Alcohols and ethers are
