    • : any of three water-soluble, crystalline isomers of such a derivative, having the formula C6H5NO3, occurring in yellow , pale-yellow , and yellowish solids, used chiefly as intermediates in organic synthesis and as indicators.

Examples

  • If an alkali is added, however, a highly dissociated salt of para-nitrophenol is formed, and the yellow colour is at once evident.

  • Thus para-nitrophenol has colourless molecules, but an intensely yellow negative ion.

  • This equilibrium curve, therefore, shows that o-nitrophenol and p-toluidine do not combine with one another.
