The correct order of acid strengths of benzoic acid \((X),\) peroxybenzoic acid \((Y)\) and \(p\)-nitrobenzoic acid \((Z)\) is
- A \(Y>Z>X\)
- B \(Z>Y>X\)
- C \(Z>X>Y\)
- D \(Y>X>Z\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(Z>X>Y\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\because\) In \(p\) -nitrobenzoic acid \((Z)-\mathrm{NO}_{2}\) present as electron withdrawing group, thus is most acidic \((X) \because\) Benzoic acid is stabilised via resonance, thus is more acidic than per oxybenzoic acid. (Y) peroxy benzoic acid does not show any such…
