Daftar Isi:
- The individual polarograms of o- and \(p\)-nitrophenols in the \(p\)H range of 1.0 to 10.2 have been studied. The polarograms of mixtures of the two phenols at PH 10.2 and 2.0 have also been studied. These consist of single waves and arc of similar pattern, and exhibit residual current region. With increasing amounts of o-nitrophenol in an excess of \(p\)-nitrophenol or \(vice\) versa, the wave-heights increase gradually, although the value is less than the sum total of the individual wave-heights. Thus, a mutual influence of the two substances in mixtures is observed, the influence of the \(ortho\) compound over the para. isomer being less than the reverse. The stability the of H-bonding in o-nitrophenol varies with the porportional amount of p-nitrophenol. The influence of Para over the ortho compound results in the destabilisation of the H-bonding in the latter.
