JEE Main 2023 (Online) 30th January Morning Shift Chemistry - Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids Question 66 English

$$\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{D}}>\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{C}}>\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{B}}>\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{A}}$$
$$\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{C}}>\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{A}}>\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{D}}>\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{B}}$$
$$\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{C}}>\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{D}}>\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{B}}>\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{A}}$$
$$\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{C}}>\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{D}}>\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{A}}>\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{B}}$$

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.
