Why 4-hydroxybenzoic acid is less acidic than 2-hydroxybenzoic acid?

4 hydroxybenzoic acid is para directing group whereas 2 is ortho directing group. thus at para, the two groups i.e. alcohol and carboxyl are far apart and thus dont show steric hinderance. therefore para directing group is a stable and as a result less acidic.

What is acid acidic?
acidic acid is the nucleic level found on sodas or cleaning products and do forth. its all acidic but the higher the acidic level is ITS LESS ACIDIC then lower number.
If you add water to an acid will it weaken the acid?
Yes. It will dilute the acid and increase its pH value (less acidic).
Does adding a base make an acid less acidic?

Is 1-hexanol more acidic or less acidic than phenol?
1-hexanol is an alcohol so it is a neutral compound not an acid while phenol is a strong acid.
Is hydrochloric acid alkali or acidic?
No - acids and alkalis are "opposites". Acids have a pH less than 7 (which is the pH of water which is neutral) and alkalis have one over 7. Sulphuric acid comes in various strengths but often has a pH less than 1 and sometimes one which is negative.
Does a base make an acid less acidic?
oo kasi ang base hindi acidic so less acidic na ung acid

Is orange juice acidic or alkaline?
Yes it has acid, the acid in it is Malic Acid.
Is potato a base?
A potato is an acid with the ph of 6.1, on the less acidic side.

Is acid rain acidic?
Yes, but I wouldn't worry about it burning you. The typical pH level of acid rain is about 5.0. That makes it less acidic than lemon juice with a pH of about 2.5.
Which pH indicates a solution of an acid?
A pH less than 7 is considered acidic.
Why alkaline soil is less harmed by acid rain?
b cos it is already acidic
