Solution and Explanation
The order of acidic strength is:
O2N − CH2COOH > HCOOH > CH3COOH.
This is due to the electron-withdrawing effect of the nitro group, which stabilizes the conjugate
base more, making O2N − CH2COOH the strongest acid.

- Explain the following observations using Einstein’s photoelectric equation:
(a) Photoelectric emission does not occur from a surface when the frequency of the light incident on it is less than a certain minimum value.
(b) It is the frequency, and not the intensity of the incident light which affects the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons.
(c) The cut-off voltage \( V_0 \) versus frequency \( \nu \) of the incident light curve is a straight line with a slope \( \frac{h}{e} \).
