Hello dear..☺☺☺☺☺☺
Picric acid is an organic compound with the formula (O2N)3C6H2OH.
Its IUPAC name is 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP).
The name "picric" comes from the Greek πικρός (pikros), meaning "bitter", reflecting its bitter taste. It is one of the most acidic phenols. Like other highly nitrated organic compounds, picric acid is an explosive, which was once its primary use.
It has also been used in medicine (antiseptic, burn treatments) and dyes.

Answer:
acid Picric acid is prepared by dissolving phenol in sulfuric acid and subsequent nitration of the resulting phenoldisulfonic acid with nitric acid or by further nitration of dinitrophenol (prepared from dinitrochlorobenzene). The crude product is purified by washing in water.
