Malonic acid is stronger as it has only one methyl and succinc acid has 2 methyl groups. Succinic acid is less acidic due to inductive effect. Glutaric acid is the organic compound with the formula C3H6(COOH)2 . Although the related "linear" dicarboxylic acidsadipic and succinic acids are water-soluble only to a few percent at room temperature, the water-solubility of glutaric acid is over 50% (w/w).
