Answer:
p-nitrophenol is more acidic than o-nitrophenol, which is more acidic than m-nitrophenol. ... The ortho nitrophenol is less acidic than the para, because the -OH group in the meta- compound can form a hydrogen bond to the adjacent nitro group, which stabilizes it (makes it harder for the H+ to leave).
