Among the following compounds, the most acidic is:                   [JEE-2011]

  • a)

    p - nitrophenol

  • b)

    p - hydroxybenzoic acid

  • c)

    o - hydroxybenzoic acid

  • d)

    p - toluic acid

Correct answer is option 'C'.

Ortho-isomer, a strong hydrogen bridge can be formed between the phenolic -OH and the the carboxylate anion. This will tend to stabilize the conjugated carboxylate base, and hence will increase acidity.

this is the order of acidic 

ortho hydroxy B.acid > meta hydroxy B.acid > benzoic acid > para hydroxy B. acids.
