NEET Chemistry Reactions of Carboxylic Acids Match the Following Question

Type: Match the Following-match the column-Hard-Class 12

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

Choose the correct matching:

A

a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv

B

a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii

C

a-iii, b-iv, c-i, d-ii

D

a-iv, b-iii, c-ii, d-i

Correct Answer

Option A

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.
