Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which compound, o-nitrophenol or p-nitrophenol, is more volatile, we need to analyze their structures and the types of hydrogen bonding they can form. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structures**: - **o-Nitrophenol**: In o-nitrophenol, the nitro group (-NO2) is positioned ortho (adjacent) to the hydroxyl group (-OH) on the benzene ring. - **p-Nitrophenol**: In p-nitrophenol, the nitro group is positioned para (opposite) to the hydroxyl group on the benzene ring. ...
