Considering the two compounds shown below, which is more acidic and why? F y A OH VS. B OH A is the stronger acid because its conjugate base is better stabilized by resonance. OB is the stronger acid because its conjugate base is better stabilized by inductive effects. B is the stronger acid because its conjugate base is better stabilized by resonance. A is the stronger acid because its conjugate base is better stabilized by inductive effects.
