Which is more acidic o-cresol and p-cresol?
As hyperconjugation effect can operate through ortho and para positions, therefore meta-cresol is a stronger acid than ortho and para cresols. However, due to the stronger +I effect at ortho position than that at para position(+I effect decreases with distance), ortho-cresol is a weaker acid than para cresol.
What is the Iupac name of m-cresol?

Is P-cresol volatile?
Introduction. p-Cresol (4-methylphenol), a 108.1 Da volatile low-molecular-weight compound, is a member of the large family of the phenoles. It is a partially lipophilic moiety which strongly binds to plasma protein (close to 100%) under normal conditions.
Why is m-cresol more acidic than p-cresol?
Water is a solvent with particularly strong solvating powers (It is a polar molecule and it can form hydrogen-bonding). It is the combinations of all these factors that makes m-cresol more acidic than p-cresol.
