Q.
The correct order of decreasing acidity of the following aliphatic acids is [2025]

1 $HCOOH > {CH}_{3} COOH > {({CH}_{3})}_{2} CHCOOH > {({CH}_{3})}_{3} CCOOH$

2 $HCOOH > {({CH}_{3})}_{3} CCOOH > {({CH}_{3})}_{2} CHCOOH > {CH}_{3} COOH$

3 ${({CH}_{3})}_{3} CCOOH > {({CH}_{3})}_{2} CHCOOH > {CH}_{3} COOH > HCOOH$

4 ${CH}_{3} COOH > {({CH}_{3})}_{2} CHCOOH > {({CH}_{3})}_{3} CCOOH > HCOOH$

Ans.
(1)

Acidic strength $\propto - I$ effect $\propto \frac{1}{+ I}$ effect. Electron donating groups decrease the stability of carboxylate ion. Thus, the correct order of decreasing acidity is
$HCOOH > {CH}_{3} COOH > {({CH}_{3})}_{2} CHCOOH > {({CH}_{3})}_{3} CCOOH .$

Solution

Q. The correct order of decreasing acidity of the following aliphatic acids is [2025]

1 HCOOH>CH3COOH>(CH3)2CHCOOH>(CH3)3CCOOH

2 HCOOH>(CH3)3CCOOH>(CH3)2CHCOOH>CH3COOH

3 (CH3)3CCOOH>(CH3)2CHCOOH>CH3COOH>HCOOH

4 CH3COOH>(CH3)2CHCOOH>(CH3)3CCOOH>HCOOH

Ans. (1) Acidic strength ∝-I effect ∝1+I effect. Electron donating groups decrease the stability of carboxylate ion. Thus, the correct order of decreasing acidity is HCOOH>CH3COOH>(CH3)2CHCOOH>(CH3)3CCOOH.
