resonance structures
ii) The conjugate base of phenol (phenoxide ion) has non equivalent resonance structures in

atom.
iii) Further, the negative charge is delocalised over two electronegative oxygen atoms in
carboxylate ion where as it is less effectively delocalised over one oxygen atom and less
electronegative carbon atoms in phenoxide ion. Thus, the carboxylate ion is more
stabilised than phenoxide ion. So carboxylic acids are more acidic than phenols.

0.23 respectively. Arrange them in the increasing order of acid strength. Justify the
arrangement. (3+2) (MQP-3)
Ans: b) Acetic acid < Benzoic acid < Trifluroacetic acid.
In acetic acid, methyl group causes +I effect and decreases the stability of carboxylate ion
but in benzoic acid, phenyl group causes –I effect and +R effect. So stability of carboxylate ion
in benzoic acid increases. Hence benzoic acid is stronger acid than acetic acid.
In trifluoroacetic acid, stability of carboxylate ion increases due to –I effect of more
electronegative fluorine atoms. Hence trifluoroacetic is stronger acid than acetic acid and
benzoic acid.

8.b) pKb of aniline is more than that of methanamine. Give reasons.(MQP-2)

Ans: b) pKb of aniline is more than methanamine. It is because in aniline, the –NH2 group is
attached directly to the benzene ring. It results in the unshared electron pair on nitrogen
atom to be in conjugation with the benzene ring and thus making it less available for
protonation. Hence aniline is less basic (more pKb) than methanmine.
