Question:
Which one of the following orders of acidic strength is correct ?
Which one of the following orders of acidic strength is correct ?
Updated On: May 5, 2024
- RCOOH > HOH > HC $\equiv$ CH > ROH
- RCOOH > HC $\equiv$ CH > HOH >ROH
- RCOOH >ROH > HOH > HC $\equiv$ CH
- RCOOH > HOH > ROH >HC $\equiv$ CH
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Carboxylic acid is stronger than alcohol and water because after removal of proton, carboxylate ion is stabilised by resonance. Hence, correct order of acid strength is
$RCOOH > HOH > ROH > HC \equiv CH$
Which is based upon the rate of donation of proton or strength of base, thus order of basic strength is
$\bar{C} \equiv CH > R- \bar{O} > OH^- > RCOO^-$
$RCOOH > HOH > ROH > HC \equiv CH$
Which is based upon the rate of donation of proton or strength of base, thus order of basic strength is
$\bar{C} \equiv CH > R- \bar{O} > OH^- > RCOO^-$

- Consider the diameter of a spherical object being measured with the help of a Vernier Callipers. Suppose its 10 Vernier Scale Divisions (V.S.D.) are equal to its 9 Main Scale Divisions (M.S.D.). The least count in the M.S. is 0.1 cm and the zero of V.S. is at -0.1 cm when the jaws of Vernier callipers are closed. If the main scale reading for the diameter is \(M = 5\) cm and the number of coinciding vernier division is 8, the measured diameter after zero error correction, is:
