Answer 2

Answer:

CH3CH2COOH

(CH3)2CHCOOH

(CH3)3C.COOH

Explanation:

Dear student,

● Answer -

CH3CH2COOH is most acidic among given options.

● Explanation -

- An inductive effect is an electronic effect due to the polarisation of σ bonds within a molecule or ion.

- Acidic strength of a compound is increased by +I effect and decreased by +I effect.

- As alkyl groups show positive inductive effect, addition of alkyl groups decreases acidic strength of a compound.

- Therefore, decreasing order of acidic strength is -

CH3CH2COOH > (CH3)2CHCOOH > (CH3)3CCOOH
