Answer:
For the simplest case of alkyl alcohols, primary alcohols are more acidic than secondary alcohols which are more acidic than tertiary alcohols.
This is because the strength of the alcohol as an acid is dependent on the corresponding strength of its conjugate base, the alkoxide ion. A more stabilised alkoxide is a weaker conjugate base and hence the alcohol will be more acidic.
The correct order of acidity is:
Primary Alcohol (10) > Secondary Alcohol (20) > Tertiary Alcohol(30).
