    Formic acid is stronger than benzoic acid because it has a lower pKa value. Formic acid does not have such a group of electron donors and is stronger than acetic acid. The acidity is due to the stablity of congugate base. Here, In Formic acid resonance is stabilised via two equivalent resonating structure. On the other hand, in case of Benzoic acid the conjugate base is stabilised via resonance of benzene ring.

    always resonance is more effective than inductive

    why

    kyunki overlapping polarization se Jada effective rehta right

    formic acid is strongest due to -I effect of hydrogen while in benzoic acid there is some cross conjugation due to which it is less acidic than formic and acetic acid is the least due to +I effect of methyl group

    The acidity is due to the stablity of congugate base. Here, In Formic acid resonance is stabilised via two equivalent resonating structure. On the other hand, in case of Benzoic acid the conjugate base is stabilised via resonance of benzene ring.

    Benzoic acid is stronger than acetic acid because the electron-donating inductive effect (+I) by the alkyl group on acetic acid destabilise the conjugate base of acetic acid (i.e. the acetate ion). In contrast, benzene rings are known to be electron dense and pull electrons away from groups attached to it. order will be 1>2>3
