Out of the given compounds, the number of compounds are weaker acids than benzoic acid are

Correct answer

3

Step-by-step solution

Attached electron withdrawing groups increase the acidity of benzoic acid by -/ and -M -effect (whenever applicable) whereas electron releasing groups decrease the acidity of benzoic acid. even though they have electron releasing groups (i.e. OCH ₃ ) attached. one electron withdrawing group is attached, due to this reason it is more acidic than benzoic acid. Moreover, aliphatic carboxylic acid is a weaker acid than aromatic carboxylic acid because benzene itself is electron withdrawing in nature that makes the rele
