STANDARD Chemistry Acidic Strength MCQ Question
Which of the following orders is not correct for the acidic character?
CH₃CH₂CH(Cl)COOH > CH₃CH(Cl)CH₂COOH > CH₂(Cl)CH₂COOH > CH₃CH₂CH₂COOH
ICH₂COOH < BrCH₂COOH < ClCH₂COOH < FCH₂COOH
CCl₃COOH < CHCl₂COOH < CH₂ClCOOH < CH₃COOH
HCOOH > CH₃COOH > C₂H₅COOH > (CH₃)₂CHCOOH
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The correct order of acidity is ICH₂COOH < BrCH₂COOH < ClCH₂COOH < FCH₂COOH. The order given in option C is incorrect as CCl₃COOH is more acidic than CHCl₂COOH, which is more acidic than CH₂ClCOOH, which is more acidic than CH₃COOH.
