The order of ka values of the following acids is :-
Options
- A(i) > (iv) > (iii) > (iv)
- B(iv) > (i) > (iii) > (ii)
- C(iii) > (iv) > (i) > (ii)
- D(iv) > (i) > (ii) > (iii)
Correct answer
B. (iv) > (i) > (iii) > (ii)
Step-by-step solution
Ka ∝ Acidity (iv) is most acidic as its conjugate base is stabilized by the two − OH groups by intra-molecular H -bonding. (ii) is least acidic as conjugate base is not stabiilized by H -bond.
