Title: Comparing acidity
Post by: dhriti on March 28, 2024, 02:46:16 PM
I am aware that carboxylic acids are more acidic (question provided in attachment), and I think one of the options regarding resonance is correct but I am not sure if the other ones are correct too.

Option 1 is right because in carboxylate ions two factors are making carboxylic acids  more acidic - 1)Resonance facor 2) negative charge is on oxygen.
