The acid which contains both \( -O H \) and \( - \) COOH groups is:

1. phthalic acid
2. adipic acid
3. glutaric acid
4. salicylic acid

Correct answer: salicylic acid

Solution

Salicylic acid is 2-hydroxybenzoic acid, so it contains both a phenolic –OH group and a –COOH group. The other options are either dicarboxylic acids or do not have both functional groups together.
