arrange the following molecule with proper reasoning in the increasing order of their acidic strength : C6H5COOH, CH3COOH, HCOOH
Answers
Answer:
HCOOH<CH3COOH<C6H5COOH
Answer:
The Correct Answer is that Acidic Strength order is HCOOH>C6H5COOH >CH3COOH
Explanation:
Acidic Strength - Acid strength is defined as an acid's proclivity for dissociating into a proton, H+, and an anion, A, and is represented by the formula HA.
Basic Strength - The ability of a species to receive H+ from another species is its base strength. A species' base strength is determined by its ability to accept an H+ from another species.
The Acidic Strength of COOH will be higher than any other compound present here because of the fact that it has a higher tendency to dissociate into H+ proton
C6H5COOH will have a lesser Acidic strength due to resonance of the structure and CH3COOH will have even lesser acidity beacuse of CH3 is not an electron witdrawing group
