Among `C_6 H_5 COOH and CH_3 CH_2 COOH `which is stronger acid and why?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which of the two acids, C₆H₅COOH (benzoic acid) and CH₃CH₂COOH (propanoic acid), is stronger, we need to analyze the stability of their conjugate bases after they donate a proton (H⁺). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Acids and Their Conjugate Bases**: - C₆H₅COOH (benzoic acid) donates a proton to form C₆H₅COO⁻ (benzoate ion). - CH₃CH₂COOH (propanoic acid) donates a proton to form CH₃CH₂COO⁻ (propanoate ion). ...
