Ortho hydroxy benzoic acid is more acidic than it's para isomer because the carboxylate ion in ortho hydroxy benzoic acid get stable with intermolecule H bonding. ….But in case of it's para isomer OH group shows +R effect ,which increase the elctron density and that's why the stability of coo - decrease …For this reason ortho hydroxy benzoic acid is more acidic than ortho hydroxy benzoic acid. ..
