The strongest acid among the following is

A

acetic acid

B

acrylic acid

C

benzoic acid

D

propionic acid

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Acidity depends on stability of the conjugate base, and also due to inductive effect. Longer hydrocarbon chain would push more electrons towards the carboxylic group and release of proton `(H^(+))` would be difficult and thus, benzoic acid is most strong.
