All three isomers are very weak acids, pKa values varying from 10.26 (o- and p-cresol) to 10.09 (for m-cresol). This means that 1.00 M (standard) solutions in water have pH values of 5.13 to 5.05 (at 25oC).
M-cresol purple changes color because it is a pH indicator. It is sensitive to changes in acidity or alkalinity of a solution. In an acidic environment, it appears yellow, while in an alkaline environment, it turns purple. The color change corresponds to the change in the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in the solution, indicating the pH level.
cresol is prepared with soap solution as it is more soluble in the soap solution than water . moreover soap solution enhances its detergent and disinfectant properties.
The usual range of the color change on the indicator is between 1.5-2 pH units because of the sensitivity of the indicators. The universal indicator is used in most test.

Cresol red is a chemical dye used as an indicator for instruments that measure pH levels. It has a pH range of 0.5 to 2.5 and transitions from rose to brown to yellow. The closest substitute in terms of pH range?æwould be the Crystal violet, also known as Gentian violet. It has a pH range of 0.8 to 2.5 and transitions from yellow to blue to violet.

M-cresol purple changes color because it is a pH indicator. It is sensitive to changes in acidity or alkalinity of a solution. In an acidic environment, it appears yellow, while in an alkaline environment, it turns purple. The color change corresponds to the change in the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in the solution, indicating the pH level.

p-cresol is more acidic than o-corsel because the loss of a proton is more difficult for o-corsel due to field effects
Yes, the o-, m-, and p-cresol molecules are structural isomers of one another, each having a benzene ring and -OH group on C1 and methyl group either in the o-, m-, or p- position.
cresol is prepared with soap solution as it is more soluble in the soap solution than water . moreover soap solution enhances its detergent and disinfectant properties.
M Cresol or metacresol is a precursor to synthetically man made pesticides. M Cresol is also found in synthetic vitamin E.
Phenol is more acidic because cresol has +I effect of CH3 grup as you know acidity is reciprocal of +I effect. OR Cresol has electron donating methyl group, whih reduces its electron defficiency of the phenol group and hence acidity.
