Answer:
Ortho and para nitrophenols are more acidic than phenol. Draw the resonance structures of corresponding phenoxide ions. The electron withdrawing groups are more effective in increasing the acidic strength at the para-position relative to the ortho position because of greater dispersal of charge

Answer:
Ortho nitrophenol is less acidic than para nitrophenol because of the intermolecular hydrogen bonding which makes the loss of proton very difficult. So, para nitrophenol is more acidic the nitro group on increasing the acidity of phenol will decrease its basicity which means that nitrogen present in the nitro group will become less basic.
