1.

ortho-Nitrophenol is less soluble in water than p and m-nitrophenols because

Answer»

o-nitrophenol is more VOLATILE in steam than those of m-and p-isomers
o-nitrophenol shows intramolecular H-bonding
o-nitrophenol shows intermolecular H-bonding
melting POINT of o-nitrophenol is LOWER than those of m-and p-isomer

Solution :The solubility of ortho-nitrophenol is LESS in water due to intermolecular H-bonding
