Which one is the most acidic compound?
Explanation
More electron-withdrawing $-NO_2$ groups at o/p positions increase acidity.
Detailed Solution
$-NO_2$ group has very strong –I and –R effects.
2,4,6-Trinitrophenol has three $-NO_2$ groups (ortho and para), which stabilise the phenoxide ion most, so it is the most acidic.
