The increasing order of acidity of the following carboxylic acids is

- A III < IV < II < I
- B II < III < IV < I
- C I < II < IV < III
- D III < IV < I < II
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) III < IV < I < II
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(i) \(\mathrm{NO}_2\) group increases the acidic nature due to - I effect. (ii) \(\mathrm{OCH}_3\) and \(\mathrm{CH}_3\) are electron donating groups (i.e., \(+\mathrm{I}\) effect), thus decreases the acidic nature, but \(\mathrm{OCH}_3\) will decrease acidic nature more than of…
