__________________________________________________________
⚡⚡2,4,6 trinitrophenol is more acidic then that of phenol⚡⚡
REASON:-
⚡ because ACIDIC NATURE is directly proportional to
-M(mesomeric) and -I(inductive) effect.
And NO2 shows both -M as well as -I effect...
More the -m and -I molecules attach to phenol more wilk the acidic nature.
Hope it will help you...
