Q.
On the basis of the fact that NaNH2 can deprotonate HC≡CH but not CH2=CH2 and the hybridization effect, order the following. four acids according to acidity IHC≡CHIICH2=CH2IIICH3−CH3IVNH3
Since, NH2− can deprotonate HC≡CH,NH3 is weaker acid than HC≡CH. On the other hand, NH2− cannot deprotonate CH2=CH2 therefore NH3 is stronger acid than ethane. Ethane is weakest acid due to hybridisation effect.
