    The increasing order of the acidity of the following carboxylic acids is?    [JEE Online 15-04-2018 (II)]

    A)                     \[III<II<IV<I\]   

    B) \[I<III<II<IV\]

    C)          \[IV<II<III<I\]

    D)          \[II<IV<III<I\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The increasing order of the acidity of the carboxylic acids is \[III<II<IV<I\]. In aromatic acids, electron withdrawing groups like \[-Cl,-CN,-N{{O}_{2}}\] increases the acidity whereas electron releasing groups like \[-C{{H}_{3}},-OH,-OC{{H}_{3}},-N{{H}_{2}}\] decreases the acidity.
