The correct acidity order of the following is :


Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A

More stable conjugate base (carboxylate anion, –ve charge always on oxygen atom).

More stable conjugate base (carboxylate anion, –ve charge always on oxygen atom).+ I and hyperconjugative effect of – CH 3 group decreases stability of benzoate anion.

Less stable conjugate base (phenoxide ion is less resonance stabilized than benzoate anion). –Cl group exhibits – I effect.

Less stable conjugate base (phenoxide ion is less resonance stabilized than benzoate anion).
