Answer:
Why is acetic acid weaker than fumaric acid but benzoic acid is stronger than p-methoxy benzoic acid? in acetic acid CH3 group acts as +I group. it reduces the acidity but in fumaric acid there is not any +I group. In p-methoxy benzoic acid OCH3 acts as +R group thats why it is less acidic than benzoic acid.
