in ortho nitro benzoic acid due to -I and -M effect it is more acidic than it's para species (-I effect more in ortho position) .
The Attempt at a Solution
In the latter compounds, due to intra molecular H-bonding, para compound is more acidic than that of the ortho compound. my doubt is in ortho nitro benzoic acid, isn't there any intra molecular H-bonding cause a carboxylic acid can form H-bonding so does the nitro compound. please solve my query :/[/B]
