MHT CET · Chemistry · Alcohols Phenols and Ethers
Identify the compound with highest acidic strength from following.
- A Ethanol
- B t-Butyl alcohol
- C Phenol
- D p-Nitrophenol
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) p-Nitrophenol
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Phenols show weak acidic character while alcohols are neutral. Electron-withdrawing groups (like \(-\mathrm{NO}_2\) ) increase the acidity of substituted phenols. Hence, p-nitrophenol has the highest acidic strength among the given compound.
