Chemistry Question on Organic Chemistry
The ascending acidity order of the following H atoms is
A
C<D<B<A
B
A<B<C<D
C
A<B<D<C
D
D<C<B<A
Answer
C<D<B<A
Explanation
Solution
The given compounds are:
The acidity strength is governed by the stability of the conjugate base. The more stable the conjugate base, the stronger the acid.
Stability of conjugate base α acidic strength
The order of acidity, based on the structure and conjugate base stability, is:
C < D < B < A
Thus, the ascending order of acidity is C < D < B < A.
The Correct Answer is : C < D < B < A
