Answer 1

Answer:The position of the electron-withdrawing substituent relative to the phenol hydroxyl is very important in terms of its effect on acidity. ... Consider the acidity of 4-methoxyphenol, compared to phenol. Notice that the methoxy group increases the pKa of the phenol group - it makes it less acidic.
