Answer:
Explanation:
An electron withdrawing group increases the acidity carboxylic acid. It disperses negative charge by inductive/ resonance effect and stabilizes the carboxylate ion. Thus, p-nitro benzoic acid (pKa 3.41) is more acidic than benzoic acid (pKa 4.19).

Answer: Yes, it increases the acidic character of benzoic acid.
Explanation: When electron withdrawing group withdraw electron a positive charge is formed on carbon 2 at ortho position and this this moves to para and ortho position thus makin ka benzoic acid group ready to accept electron and thus increases its acidic character.
