Q.
Arrange the following compounds in decreasing order of acidity
$H_2O, ROH, HC \equiv CH$
Alcohols Phenols and Ethers
Solution:
A stronger acid displaces a weaker acid from its salt. Since $H _{2} O$ displaces $ROH$ from $RONa$ and both $H _{2} O$ and alcohol displace acetylene from sodium acetylide, therefore, water is the strongest, followed by alcohol while acetylene is the weakest acid. In other words, acidity decreases in the order:
