  11. OH OH OH CH3 OCH3 Electron-releasing groups have little or no effect Ka: 1 x 10-10 5 x 10-11 6 x 10-11

  12. OH OH OH Cl NO2 Electron-withdrawing groups increase acidity Ka: 1 x 10-10 4 x 10-9 7 x 10-8

  13. OH OH OH NO2 NO2 NO2 Effect of electron-withdrawing groups is mostpronounced at ortho and para positions Ka: 6 x 10-8 4 x 10-9 7 x 10-8

  14. OH OH OH NO2 NO2 O2N NO2 NO2 NO2 Effect of strong electron-withdrawing groupsis cumulative Ka: 7 x 10-8 1 x 10-4 4 x 10-1
