Among the following compounds, the most acidic is :
- A 4-methoxybenzoic acid
- B 4-nitrobenzoic acid
- C Benzoic acid
- D 3, 4-dinitrobenzoic acid
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) 3, 4-dinitrobenzoic acid
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The acidity of benzoic acid derivatives is determined by the electronic effects of the substituents present on the benzene ring. The nitro group (\(-NO_2\)) is a strong electron-withdrawing group (EWG) due to both its negative inductive effect (\(-I\)) and negative resonance…
