Q. Mark the correct order of decreasing acid strength of the following compounds.Chemistry Question Image

Alcohols Phenols and Ethers

Solution:

The electron withdrawing group $(- NO_2)$ increases the acidity of phenols and the electron donating group $(-OCH_3)$ decreases the acidity of phenols. The effect at $p$-position is greater than at $m$-position.
