Question
Chapter 18, Problem 18.61AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The solution which gives best separation of
Concept introduction:
The substituted phenol compounds have different dissociation constant, due to the presence of different substituent. The presence of methyl group on phenol destabilizes the phenoxide ion making cresol weak acid. The presence of electron withdrawing nitro group stabilizes the phenoxide ion, so nitrophenol is strong acid.
