Acidic strength order from NCERT (pKa data based)

CF3COOH > CCl3COOH > CHCl2COOH > NO2CH2COOH > NC-CH2COOH > FCH2COOH > ClCH2COOH >
BrCH2COOH > HCOOH > ClCH2CH2COOH > C6H5COOH > C6H5CH2COOH > CH3COOH > CH3CH2COOH

Direct attachment of groups such as phenyl or viny to the carboxylic acid, increases the acidity of
correspoinding carboxylic acid, contrary to the decrease expected due to resonance effect shown below :

O –
O
H2C = CH — C H2C — CH = C
OH
OH

This is because of greater electronegativity of sp2 hybridised carbon to which carboxyl carbon is attached.
The presence of electron withdrawing group on the phenyl of aromatic carboxylic acid increases their acidity while
electron donating groups decrease their acidity.
