Answer:
Conjugate base of naphthol is highly stable but conjugate base of ethanol is unstable.
Explanation:
Naphthol gives acid base reaction with NaOH where naphthol acts as an acid and NaOH as a base.
Reactivity of naphthol towards NaOH is quite high because the conjugate base of naphthol is highly stable. Stability of the conjugate base arises due to delocalization of negative charge on oxygen atom into aromatic naphthalene ring.
Ethanol is not so reactive towards NaOH because the ethoxide ion is highly unstable due to lack of delocalization of negative charge on oxygen atom.
Resonance structures of conjugate base of naphthol has been shown below.

Explanation:
There is some info missing. I think this is the original question.
<em>Ammonium perchlorate is the solid rocket fuel used by the U.S. Space Shuttle. It reacts with itself to produce nitrogen gas, chlorine gas, oxygen gas, water, and a great deal of energy. </em>
<em>What mass of water is produced by the reaction of </em><em>9.6 g</em><em> of ammonium perchlorate?</em>
<em />
Step 1: Given data
Mass of ammonium perchlorate: 9.6 g
Step 2: Write the balanced equation
2 NH₄ClO₄(s) → N₂(g) + Cl₂(g) + 2 O₂(g) + 4 H₂O(l)
Step 3: Calculate the moles corresponding to 9.6 g of ammonium perchlorate
The molar mass of ammonium perchlorate is 117.49 g/mol.
Step 4: Calculate the moles of water formed from 0.082 moles of ammonium perchlorate
The molar ratio of NH₄ClO₄ to H₂O is 2:4. The moles of water formed are 4/2 × 0.082 mol = 0.16 mol
Step 5: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.16 moles of water
The molar mass of water is 18.02 g/mol.
