Chapter 8: Q85P (page 378)

Rank the indicated hydrogen in the following compounds from most acidic to least acidic:

Short Answer

Expert verified

The order of acidity is - a> b> c

Step by step solution

01

Definition of acid-

Any substance that tastes unpleasant in water solution, turns blue litmus paper red, reacts with some metals to release hydrogen, combines with bases to create salts, and stimulates chemical processes is considered an acid (acid catalysis).

02

Step 2:

a)The electrons left over after the proton is removed can delocalize into two oxygens, making acid a. the most acidic.

b) Acid b. is the second most acidic since these electrons can delocalize onto one oxygen.

c) Because the electrons that remain after the proton is removed cannot be delocalized, state c is the least acidic.
