p-Nitrobenzoic acid is a stronger acid than benzoic acid. This is due to

Assertion : m-chlorobenzoic acid is a stronger acid than p-chlorobenzoic acid Reason : In p-chlorobenzoic acid both -I and +R effect of chlorine operate but in m-chlorobenzoic acid only -I effect of chlorine operates.

Statement 1 : Peracids are stronger acids than corresponding carboxylic acids. Statement 2 : The anion of carboxylic acids is stabilized by resonance but not that of peracids.

Assertion : p-chlorobenzoic acid is more acidic than p-fluorobenzoic acid. Reason : +R effect of fluorine is higher than that of chlorine due to the matching size of carbon and fluorine.

Assertion : p-Amino benzoic acid exitss as Zwitter ion whereas p-aminobenzene sulphonic acid does not. Reason : -SO_(3)H group is less acidic than carboxyl group.

Assertion : Tricyclopropyl methyl carbonium ion is more stable than tropylium ion. Reason : Stability of tricycle propyl methyl carbocation is a result of conjugation between the bent orbitals of cyclopropyl ring and the vacant p-orbital of cationic carbon.

Paragraph Carboxylic acids are distinctly acidic because they ionize in water to give hydronium ions: RCOOH+H_(2)O hArr RCOO^(-) +H_(3)O^(+) The acidic strength depends upon the extent of ionizations of the acid and the stability of the anion formed. The acidic strength can also be expressed in terms of dissociation constant K_(a) or pK_(a) which are related as pK_(a)= -log K_(a) . Most unsubstituted carboxylic acids have K_(a) values in the range of 10^(-4) to 10^(-5) (pK_(a) =4-5) . The substitutents have marked effect on the acidic strength of carboxylic acids. Any group that stabilizes the carboxylate ion more than the carboxylic acid group will increase the acidic strength, and the group which destabilizes the carboxylate group more than the carboxylic acid group will decrease the acidic strength. In a similar manner, the electron-releasing groups makes benzoic acid weaker, while the electron-withdrawing groups make benzoic acid stronger. The ortho isomer of every substituted benzoic acid (whether electron releasing or electron withdrawing) is the strongest among the three isomers due to ortho effect. Which of the following is the weakest acid?
