Assertion: Salicyclic acid is much strogest than its `m-p`-isomers and benzoic acid itself.
Reason: It is due to steric inhibitation to resonance, as `-OH` group forces `-COOH` out of the plane of ring.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is not the correct explanations of the assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion is false but reason is true.

Assertion (A): 2,6-Dimethyl-4-nitrophenol (I) is more acidic than 3,5-dimethyl-4-nitrophenol (II). Reason (R ): It is due to the steric inhibition of the resonance of (-NO_(2)) group with two (Me) groups in (II).

Assertion : Nitration of benzoic acid gives meta nitrobenzoic acid. Reason : Carboxyl group deactivates the ortho and para positions in the ring.

Assertion : Benzoic acid is a weaker acid than formic acid. Reason : Phenyl group destabilises the carboxylate anion due to conjugation.

Assertion: Ortho substituted benzoic acids are stronger than benzoic acid. Reason: Ortho substituted tends to prevent coplanartity of -COOH with ring. Thus resonance is diminished which increases acidic strength (ortho effects)

Assertion : Although fluorine is more electronegative than chlorine, p-chlorobenzoic acid is a stronger acid than p-fluorobenzoic acid. Reason : Due to mathcing size of 2p-orbitals of F and C, F has stronger +R effect than Cl.

Assertion: Acerylic acid (CH_(2) - CHCOOH) is a weaker acid than benzonic acid (C_(6)H_(5)COOH) . Reason : Ethylenic double bond is lessel electrondonating than benzene ring.

Ortho effect is special type of effect that is shown by o-subsituents .This ortho-effect operates at the benzoic acids irrespective of the polar type. Nearly all o-substituted benzoic acid are stronger than benzoic acid. Benzoic acid is a resonance stabilised and so the carboxyl group is coplaner with the ring. An o-subsituent tends to prevent this coplanarity. Which among the following will be the strongest acid ?
