Even though the para position is one carbon farther from the carboxy group than the meta position, p-cyanobenzoic acid is more a

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Dissociation of O-H bond is highly favorable in p-cyanobenzoic acid resulting to higher acidity as compared to m-cyanobenzoic acid.

Explanation:

In p-cyanobenzoic acid, adjacent carbon to carboxyl group (-COOH) gets a partial positive charge due to electron withdrawing resonating effect of carboxyl group as compared to m-cyanobenzoic acid.

Due to this partial positive charge on carbon atom in p-cyanobenzoic acid, O-H bond in -COOH group remains highly polarized towards oxygen atom. Hence, dissociation of O-H bond is highly favorable in p-cyanobenzoic acid resulting to higher acidity as compared to m-cyanobenzoic acid.

Resonance structures are given below.
