p-Nitrobenzoic acid is a stronger acid than benzoic acid. Justify.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Electron withdrawing group (EWG) like `-NO_(2)` group when present at para portion w.r.t. -COOH group stabilises the carboxylae anion by dispeisal of negative charge. More stable the carboxylate anion, stronger is the acid. Therefore p-nitrobenzoic acid is stronger than benzoic acid.
