The acid which contains both \( -O H \) and \( - \) COOH groups is:
- A. phthalic acid
- B. adipic acid
- C. glutaric acid
- D. salicylic acid
Step-by-step solution
Salicylic acid (2-hydroxybenzoic acid) has both a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a carboxyl group (-COOH) attached to the benzene ring. Phthalic acid, adipic acid, and glutaric acid contain only carboxyl groups and no hydroxyl groups.
