hmm. okay..

ill show you my pKa table..

i think o-R is more acticvating than OH. pankaj ne notes mein likhaya tha. par haan wo kahan sahi likhata hain. mereko explanation nahi pta. par note copy mein mereko O-R > OH likha hua hain.

or pKa values bhi OH wale ki zyada hain matlab OH wala zyada acidic hian so O-R wale ka resonating effect zyada hoga matlab O-R zyada activating hain. (provided jo values asish ne likhi hian woh sahi ho)

dear friend
you were the one who added the value of pka in the 1st spot. thouhg your explanation for it was very very lousy. electron electron replusion and high electron gain enthalpy will be accounted for when it goes into an anion.

well may be the answer can be solved while we answer this question. can anyone please explain the dipole moment in these two compounds? &

the answer is that the chlorine isomer has more dipole moment. how will your explain this. i have my own theory but it is a theory only. can you all please try and explain. this will lead to the answer of the 1st question.

i dont know dude...i only have the ans

can u explain why its 10

ans 1 =10

anyone for soln ?????

can somebody give the answers to first one.....is it 9?

ok whatever.....whether Pka values or what so ever.....that must have a logic.....as i explained in #11 either agree or disagree...in either case give an explanation of which is corect!!!!!

That's a splendid idea Asish...but using facts that are established during a competitive exam is a non-bailable offence which can destroy your candidature. Hope you read the exam rules...if not I'll quote them for your convenience -:

Sadly for JEE we need cold, cruel logic and nothing else. If our heads stop working there, nobody can save us.
Of course, if your mind is as strong and versatile as Swami Vivekananda's that you can remember the pKas of every damn organic compound that was synthesised or discovered, hats off to you. Phir kya kehna.

Waise why are you doing this question by pKas? I was only trying to verify the acidity order...
Aren't we supposed to use our heads?

2) 2 > 1 > 4 > 3

Asish I searched the pKas on the net.

p-hydroxybenzoic acid : 4.48
p-methoxybenzoic acid : EXPECTED pKa is 4.48, ACTUAL pKa is 4.82

p-flourobenzoic acid pKa ≈ 4
p-chlorobenzoic acid pKa ≈ 3
Judge for yourself :P

Actually, flourine loses out because it has less negative electron gain enthalpy than chlorine, because of its small size and high electron-electron repulsion.

for Q2) not only fluorine has max -i effect but also Cl has a slight tendency of +m which fluorine doesn't so Cl will will make the ring less electron deficient than F.....threrefore...the order should be
1>2>4>3

@gagar,asish can anybody explain how u are getting 10 or isomers???

10 is the ans

Q1 koi karo ...

@pranav...take care of resonance effect too

greater than cl na??plzz tell me if i am wrong !!

is shud be 1 > 2>4>3....as F has max -I effect na??

thx for 2..had dbt b/w I and II

btw for Q1 ans is 10
