Arrange the following labelled hydrogens in decreasing order of acidity:
Options
- A  b > a > c > d
- Bc > b > a > d
- Cb > c > d > a
- D  c > b > d > a
Correct answer
C. b > c > d > a
Step-by-step solution
Acidic strength ∝ Stability of conjugate base General Order of acidic strength: R - COOH > Ph - OH > R - C ≡ CH ' C ' is more acidic due to - M effect of - NO 2 . Hence , order of acidic strength is: b>c>d>a
