(i) CH 3- CH 2- COOH (ii) CH 3- COOH (iii) C 6 H - COOH (iv) C 6 H 4- CH 2- COOH Die to -I effect (iii) is most acidic and order will be (iii) >( iv )>( ii )>( i ).

Q. The order of strengths of the following caboxylic acids is
(i) $C H_{3} - C H_{2} - COO H$
(ii) $C H_{3} - COO H$
(iii) $C_{6} H_{5} - COO H$
(iv) $C_{6} H_{5} - C H_{2} COO H$

(iii) > (iv) > (ii) > (i)

(iv) > (ii) > (iii) > (i)

(iii) > (ii) > (iv) > (i)

(i) > (iv) > (ii) > (iii)

(i) $C H_{3} - C H_{2} - COO H$

(ii) $C H_{3} - COO H$

(iii) $C_{6} H - COO H$

(iv) $C_{6} H_{4} - C H_{2} - COO H$

Die to $- I$ effect (iii) is most acidic and order will be

$(iii) > (i v) > (ii) > (i)$ .

Q. The order of strengths of the following caboxylic acids is (i) CH3​−CH2​−COOH (ii) CH3​−COOH (iii) C6​H5​−COOH (iv) C6​H5​−CH2​COOH
