JEE Advanced2019ChemistryCarboxylic Acid DerivativesActual
The correct order of acid strength of the following carboxylic acids is -
Options
- AI > I I I > I I > I V
- BI I I > I I > I > I V
- CI I > I > I V > I I I
- DI > I I > I I I > I V
Correct answer
D. I > I I > I I I > I V
Step-by-step solution
Acidic strength ∝ stability of conjugate chain Order of Acidic strength ⇒ I > II > III > IV
