Here's a question to brush up on your organic chemistry acidity trend knowledge.
Rank the following compounds in order of decreasing acidity
4-methoxybenzoic acid
4-chlorobenzoic acid
Benzoic acid
4-nitrobenzoic acid
3-nitrobenzoic acid
3-methoxybenzoic acid
4-N,N-dimethylaminobenzoic acid
HINT.... the "acid" is at position 1 since it's not explicitly stated.
