Chemistry.

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.
