Phenol is more acidic than p-nitrophenol. This is because the presence of the nitro group (-NO2) in p-nitrophenol withdraws electron density from the phenoxide ion, making it less stable compared to the phenoxide ion derived from phenol. Thus, p-nitrophenol is less acidic than phenol.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Reason (R) supports Assertion (A) by explaining that the electron-withdrawing nature of the nitro group stabilizes the resulting phenoxide ion, making it less acidic compared to phenol.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Therefore, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) correctly explains Assertion (A).<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assertion (A) : p-nitrophenol is less acidic than phenol.
