Question

The correct order of acid strength of the following carboxylic acids is (A) III > II > I > IV (B) I > II > III > IV (C) I > III > II > IV (D) II > I > IV > III

+I effect decreases the acidic character of carboxylic acid and -I effect increases the acidic character. Since the electronegativity order of 'C' attached to carboxylic acid is sp > sp2 > sp3, hence the order is I > II > III > IV.

Q. The correct order of acid strength of the following carboxylic acids is

III > II > I > IV

I > II > III > IV

I > III > II > IV

II > I > IV > III

+I effect decreases the acidic character of carboxylic acid and -I effect increases the acidic character. Since the electronegativity order of 'C' attached to carboxylic acid is $s p > s p^{2} > s p^{3}$ , hence the order is I > II > III > IV.
