Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To arrange the compounds in increasing order of their acid strength, we need to analyze the stability of the conjugate bases formed after the loss of a proton (H⁺) from each acid. The more stable the conjugate base, the stronger the acid. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compounds**: - The compounds given are: - Benzoic acid (C₆H₅COOH) - 4-Nitrobenzoic acid (C₆H₄(NO₂)COOH) ...
