explain why 2 hydroxy bezoic acid is 17 times stronger acid as compared to benzoic acid

Answers

Answered by blybigopurpdnukj

I have a reasoning that since hydroxy group is an activating group, then it increases the electron density on its para position. So for p-hydroxybenzoic acid, the carbonyl carbon has a greater ability to share molecular orbital's electron cloud to its attached hydroxy group. So the hydroxy group doesn't release H+ easily. But that's not the case for m-hydroxybenzoic acid.
