Arrange the following in increasing order of \(\mathrm{pK}_{\mathrm{a}}\) values

  1. A \(\mathrm{C} < \mathrm{B} < \mathrm{A} < \mathrm{D}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{B} < \mathrm{D} < \mathrm{C} < \mathrm{A}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{A} < \mathrm{D} < \mathrm{B} < \mathrm{C}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{A} < \mathrm{B} < \mathrm{C} < \mathrm{D}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{A} < \mathrm{D} < \mathrm{B} < \mathrm{C}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Therefore, larger dissociation and stability of C.B. is governed by the I-effect of the p-substituent. Higher the dissociation of acids into its conjugate base, lower the \(\mathrm{pk}_{\mathrm{a}}\) values.
