Question

Is it correct order of increasing acidic strength..?
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Yes, This order is correct.

Explaination :-

As we know that :-

1. Electron density ↓ = Acidic Nature ↑
2. More the positive charge on Carbon (C) = Acidic ↑

Here,

In C6H10O3 has more acidic because we know that Oxygen is electronegative element and it withdraw electron. So, In C6H10O3 more positive charge appear.

And

In C6H11O2N has less acidic than C6H10O3 because Nitrogen is less electronegative element than oxygen. So, It withdraw less electron as compare to oxygen. So, In C6H11O2N postive charge appear less as compared to C6H10O3.

And

In C7H12O2 has less acidic as compared to both because here is no electron withdrawing group.

Note :-

• -COOH is EWG (electron withdrawing group) and it's common in all three compounds. So, we don't check -COOH to make question easier.

Hence,

Order of acidic nature -

• C6H10O3 > C6H11O2N > C7H12O2
