Water with Sodium VS Alcohols with Sodium

The inductive destabilization effect mentioned above also largely controls the relative acidities of the alcohols, which in turn are directly related to the reactivity of the alcohol with sodium. … water}$$ Although the acidity of water is low in DMSO due to the poor solvation of the hydroxyl anion (the alkoxy anions are solvated by DMSO in order of increasing hydrocarbon chain length), its reactivity
