Answer:
hope it helps you
Explanation:
The nitro-group is an electron-withdrawing group. ... On the other hand, methoxy group is an electron-releasing group. Thus, it increases the electron density in the O-H bond and hence, the proton cannot be given out easily. For this reason, ortho-nitrophenol is more acidic than ortho-methoxyphenol.
