Explanation / Answer

1) 2-naphthol is a weak acid because the 2-naphtoxide ion froms afrer removal of proton is less stable.

2) since it is weak acid it requires a strong base to abstract the proton, and therefore convets it into an ionic compound

3) 3-nitrobenzoic acid is also a weak acid due to less stability of the anion formed after losing a proton.

4) it is a weak acid so it requires strong base to convert it into ionic compound.
