Question:

Although the acid-dissociation constant for phenol (C6H5OH) is listed in Appendix D, the base-dissociation constant for the phenolate ion (C6H5O-) is not.
(a) Explain why it is not necessary to list both Ka for phenol and Kb for the phenolate ion.
(b) Calculate Kb for the phenolate ion.
(c) Is the phenolate ion a weaker or stronger base than ammonia?
