Question

which is more acidic between benzoic acid and pera chloro benzoic acid​

Answer 1

Answer:-

• -COOH is meta directing group and hence it isn't stabilised at the para position. Hence benzoic acid is more acidic than para-chloro benzoic acid(because the resonating structure of benzoic acid is more stable than p-chloro benzoic acid due to the reason mentioned above).

Answer 2

Answer:

COOH is meta directing group and hence it isn't stabilised at the para position. Hence benzoic acid is more acidic than para-chloro benzoic acid(because the resonating structure of benzoic acid is more stable than p-chloro benzoic acid due to the reason mentioned above).
