प्रश्न
Account for the following:
pKa value of 4-nitrobenzoic acid is lower than that of benzoic acid.
उत्तर
The conjugate base formed after the removal of hydrogen is highly stable due to the presence of electron withdrawing group (NO2). Hence, it is more acidic than the benzoic acid.

Which one of the following acids does not exhibit optical isomerism?
\[\ce{CH3CH2COOH ->[Cl2][red P] A ->[alc. KOH] B}\]. What is B?
An aromatic carboxylic acid [A], which readily sublimes on heating, produces compound [B] on treatment with PCl5, Compound [B], when reduced in the presence of Pd catalyst over BaSO4 poisoned by sulphur in xylene solution, gives compound [C]. When compound [C] is condensed in the presence of alcoholic KCN, it gives compound [D] (Molecular formula of compound [D] is C14H12O2)
