The order of acidic strength of following acids is
Options
- A(iii) (> ) (ii) (> ) (i)
- B(ii) (> ) (iii) (> ) (i)
- C(iii) (> ) (i) (> ) (ii)
- D(ii) (> ) (i) (> ) (iii)
Correct answer
D. (ii) (> ) (i) (> ) (iii)
Step-by-step solution
Aromatic carboxylic acids are stronger to aliphatic carboxylic acids. Acidic strength order: (iii) ( > ) (ii) ( > ) (i) [Option-(a)] * If (i) is 4-ethylbenzoic acid, answer will be option-(c), but it is not given in (i).
