Why alcohols are more acidic than organic alkyne

Answers

Acidity is the ability to lose H+, leaving an anion behind; acidity often depends on the stability of the anion. This is quite straightforward; for example, all alcohols have essentially the same acidity. So the order from most acidic to least will be acids, phenols, aliphatic alcohols, alkynes, alkenes and alkanes. The order of acidity corresponds to the stability of the conjugate base, in easily-understood ways based on simple bonding theory.

ANSWER :

Alcohol is more acidic than alkynes.

EXPLANATION :

The fact is based on the electronegativity of hydroxyl group.

For alcohols of H+ is removed O- is formed, which is more stable than C- formed in alkynes if H+ is removed.

Because electronegativity of oxygen is greater than carbon.
