Out of o-nitrophenol \; and\; o-cresol, which is more acidic?

Answers (1)

The presence of an electron-withdrawing group at para and ortho position increases the acidity of the cyclic compounds. As NO_{2} is present in o-nitrophenol, it makes it more acidic, but in o-cresol, the electron releasing group decreases its acidity.
