Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The lower pKa value of the given nitro phenols should be identified.

pKa = - log Ka

pH = - log H+

Generally, alcohols are very weak acids, the hydroxyl proton is the most electrophilic site which can be removed by using base.

The inductive effect: It is the permanent dipole in a chemical bond when the effect of the transmission of charge through a chain of atoms in a molecule. Acidities of aliphatic alcohols in aqueous solution is depends on the differences in structure and solvation effect.
