Why is p-methoxyphenol (pKa = 10.2) more acidic than m-methoxyphenol (pKa = 9.65)?
p-methoxyphenol is more acidic than m-methoxyphenol because its conjugate base is more stable due to the resonance effect.
p-methoxyphenol is more acidic than m-methoxyphenol because its conjugate base is less stable due to the resonance effect.
p-methoxyphenol is more acidic than m-methoxyphenol because its conjugate base is more stable due to the inductive effect.
