Which of the following explanations accounts for o-nitro-phenol to be more volatile than p-nitrophenol?

Give reason in one or two sentences form the following: 'o-nitrophenol is steam volatile, whereas p-nitrophenol is not'.

Assertion : Boiling point of p-nitrophenol is greater than that of o-nitrophenol. Reason : There is intramolecular hydrogen bonding in p-nitrophenol and intermolecular hydrogen bonding in o-nitrophenol.

Assertion: o-nitrophenol has higher boilling point than p-nitrophenol. Reason: Intermolecular hydrogen bonding is present in p-nitrophenol and intrmolecular hydrogen bonding in o-nitrophenol.

Statement I: p-Nitrophenol is a stronger acid than o-nitrophenol. Statement II: Intramolecular hydrogen bonding makes the o-isomer weaker than p-isomer.

Explain why p-nitrophenol is more acidic than phenol ?

Which of the following isomers is more volatile : o-nitrophenol or p-nitrophenol ?

Assertion (A) p-nitrophenol is more acidic than phenol. Reason (R) Nitro group helps in the stabilisation of the phenoxide ion by dispersal of negative charge due to resonance.
