Question

The acidity of carboxylic acid increases when?

a. an electron with drawing substituent group is attached with -coo-

b. an electron with releasing substituent group is attached with -coo-

c. an proton withdrawing substituent group is attached with -coo-

d. both a and b

Answer 1

I think the option (a) is correct i.e an electron withdrawing substituent group is attach with
-COO- because electron withdrawing group shows -I effect which is directly proportional to acidic character.
