Answer:
a.Phenols have the ability to spread out the negative charge that forms.
Explanation:
This happens because of the aromatic ring the phenols have. When loosing the proton, the anion formed have different resonance isomers due to the double bonds in the aromatic ring. This resonance makes the anion more stable and prevents the reaction going backwards.
On the other hand, regular alcohol doesn't have resonace and the reaction of loosing the proton goes leftward and righward: is in equilibrium.
That equilibrium decreases the acidity of the alcohol.

Answer:
Both reactions are acid-base reactions
Explanation:
An acid base reaction is a reaction that occurs between an acid and a base. This reaction often leads to the formation of a salt in the process. The nature of the salt depends on the type of acid and base that reacted in the process.
Both HNO3 and H2SO4 are strong acids. However, ammonia is a weak base. The acid base reaction between ammonia and these strong acids is shown below;
HNO3(aq) + NH3(aq) ------>NH4NO3(aq)
H2SO4(aq) + 2NH3(aq) ----> (NH4)2SO4(aq)
I think the correct answer would be D. The reaction that involves an acid and a covalent base would be the reaction of sulfuric acid and water or H2SO4 + 2H2O → 2H3O+ + SO42– . The acid would be H2SO4 and the covalent base would be H2O since it is being held by covalent bonds and when in solution it will have equal amounts of OH- and H+ ions.
