Why is `CH_(2)=CH-COOH` a stronger acid than `CH_(3)CH_(2)COOH`?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why `CH2=CH-COOH` (prop-2-enoic acid) is a stronger acid than `CH3CH2COOH` (propanoic acid), we can analyze the structures and the factors affecting acidity, such as resonance stabilization and electronegativity. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structures**: - Prop-2-enoic acid: `CH2=CH-COOH` - Propanoic acid: `CH3-CH2-COOH` ...
