Question

Correct the increasing order of acidity is as

$H_2O,C_2H_2,H_2CO_3$ , phenol

$C_2H_2, H_2O, H_2CO_3,$ phenol

Phenol, $C_2H_2,H_2CO_3,H_2O$

C $_2H_2,H_2O, phenol \, and \, H_2CO_3$

Answer

C $_2H_2,H_2O, phenol \, and \, H_2CO_3$

Explanation

Solution

C $_2H_2$ have acidic nature but it is less acidic than
water but phenol is more acidic than water due to
resonance stabilisation of phenoxide ion. H $_2CO_3$ is
most acidic due to resonating stabilisation of
carbonate ion (CO $_3^{2-}$ ).
Thus, the correct order is
$\, \, \, \, \, \, C_2H_2 < H_20 < phenol < H_2CO_3$
