33Because HCOOH is more acidic than CH3COOH
But don' know how PhCOOH comes in between them
Why C6H5COOH is less acidic than HCOOH, but more acidic than CH3COOH?

13Why does PhCOOH come in between them??......i want to know exactly that
1* if R is donating then acid weaker...
because... the conjugate base will be weaker...
33Sahi hi lag raha hai..
But Resonance must increase more e- than +I and Hyper..
As in CH3-CH2+ and Ph-CH2+
But the order is correct ...
here I think Ph stops delocalisation of - charge on -C=O

O-
Due to cross conjugation..
1yeh cross-conjugation ka kya chakkar hai ??
i jus thot, here there are one effect n in methyl grp there are two effects ...
33And for cross conj :D
a very handy tool of teacher to explain any exception :D
cross conj, steric effect one of d most powerful tool 4 them [6]
3sp2 hybridised carbon is more basic than that of the sp3 hybridised carbon so the cpd C6H5COOH is more basic than that of CH3COOH
1yeah abhisekh .. u are r8..
kuchh na ho toh...... steric hindrance :P :P
