Answer (3)
Sol. The acidic strength of the given derivatives of
phenol is decided by the stability of their conjugate
bases. p-nitrophenol is most acidic as I and R
effects of NO
2
group stabilises its conjugate base
most effectively. This is followed by p-chlorophenol
due to I effect of Cl group, p-cresol due to +I and
+H effects of CH
