JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2023 - 30th January Morning Shift - No. 5)
What is the correct order of acidity of the protons marked $$\mathrm{A}-\mathrm{D}$$ in the given compounds ?
$$\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{D}}>\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{C}}>\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{B}}>\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{A}}$$
$$\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{C}}>\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{A}}>\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{D}}>\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{B}}$$
$$\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{C}}>\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{D}}>\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{B}}>\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{A}}$$
$$\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{C}}>\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{D}}>\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{A}}>\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{B}}$$
Explanation
Acidity of an acid depends upon the stability of it's conjugate base.
HC > HD > HA > HB
HC is hydrogen of carboxylic acid.
HD removal will lead to stable carbanion.
