Both aspirin and ibuprofen contain a carboxylic acid group


Problem- Both aspirin and ibuprofen contain a carboxylic acid group, which makes them both extremely polar. Which of the following statements are true?

• Aspirin is more polar because it also contains an ester group.

• Ibuprofen is more polar because the carboxylic acid group is further removed from the benzene ring.

• Both aspirin and ibuprofen have the same polarity because they both contain a highly polar carboxylic acid group.

• Ibuprofen is less polar than aspirin because the rest of the ibuprofen molecule is non-polar.

I just need a general explanation of it please- Thanks!
