NEET Chemistry Reactions of Carboxylic Acids Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
| Column-I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| (a) Carboxylic acid with electron-withdrawing group | (i) Increased acidity |
| (b) Carboxylic acid with electron-donating group | (ii) Decreased acidity |
| (c) Effect of phenyl group on acidity | (iii) Increased acidity |
| (d) Effect of alkyl group on acidity | (iv) Decreased acidity |
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
a-iii, b-iv, c-i, d-ii
a-iv, b-iii, c-ii, d-i
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Carboxylic acids with electron-withdrawing groups increase acidity, while those with electron-donating groups decrease acidity. The presence of a phenyl group also increases acidity due to its electronegativity effects, whereas alkyl groups typically have a diminishing effect on acidity.
