Q 1 :    

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

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

(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.

Q 6 :    

The correct order of strengths of the carboxylic acids

[IMAGE 270]

is                                                                     [2016]

  • I > II > III

     

  • II > III > I

     

  • III > II > I

     

  • II > I > III

     

(2)

Acidic strength  I effect

As oxygen is more electron withdrawing, (II) and (III) show greater I effect than (I). Thus, (I) is least acidic. Out of (II) and (III), (II) is more acidic than (III) as distance of O increases from –COOH group and the acidic strength decreases.
