Question

Why para nitrophenol is more acidic that methanol?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The nitro-group is an electron-withdrawing group. The presence of this group in the ortho or para position decreases the electron density in the O?H bond. As a result, it is easier to lose a proton. Also, the o-nitrophenoxide or p-nitrophenoxide ion formed after the loss of protons is stabilized by resonance. Hence, ortho and para nitrophenols are stronger acids than phenol.
