The correct order of increasing acidic strength among the following is
- A phenol < ethanol < chloroacetic acid < acetic acid
- B ethanol < phenol < chloroacetic acid < acetic acid
- C ethanol < phenol < acetic acid < chloroacetic acid
- D chloroacetic acid < acetic acid < phenol \( < \) ethanol
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) ethanol < phenol < acetic acid < chloroacetic acid
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The correct order of increasing acidic strength is : ethanol \( < \) phenol \( < \) acetic acid \( < \) chloroacetic acid Phenol is more acidic than ethanol because in phenol, the phenoxide ion obtained on deprotonation is stabilised by resonance, which is not possible in case…
