1.	OH group in methyl carbinol is neutral while it is acidic in acetic acid because :
Answer» methyl carbinol molecules get associated methyl carbinol is a covalent compound acetic acid is an ELECTROVALENT compound in acetic acid OH GROUP is united with ELECTRONEGATIVE carbonyl group Solution :In methyl carbinol the `+I` effect of `C_(2)H_(5)` decreases the polarity, of OH group while `C = O` group of acetic increases the polarity of `-OH` group
