JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2023 - 10th April Evening Shift - No. 7)
The correct order for acidity of the following hydroxyl compound is :
A. $$\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OH}$$
B. $$\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{COH}$$
C. _10th_April_Evening_Shift_en_7_1.png)
D. _10th_April_Evening_Shift_en_7_2.png)
E. _10th_April_Evening_Shift_en_7_3.png)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
E > C > D > A > B
D > E > C > A > B
E > D > C > B > A
C > E > D > B > A
Explanation
$\mathrm{NO}_2$ group will increase the acidity, $\mathrm{OCH}_3$ group at para position will decrease the acidity, phenol is more acidic than methanol.
So, Acidic strength $\mathrm{E}>\mathrm{C}>\mathrm{D}>\mathrm{A}>\mathrm{B}$
So, Acidic strength $\mathrm{E}>\mathrm{C}>\mathrm{D}>\mathrm{A}>\mathrm{B}$
