Although phenoxide ion has more number of resonating structures than carboxylate ion,

Question: Although phenoxide ion has more number of resonating structures than carboxylate ion, carboxylic acid is a stronger acid than phenol. Why? Solution: Resonance structures of phenoxide ion are: It can be observed from the resonance structures of phenoxide ion that in II, III and IV, less electronegative carbon atoms carry a negative charge.
