With respect to the compounds I-V, choose the correct statement(s).
The acidity of compound I is due to delocalization in the conjugate base.
The conjugate base of compound IV is aromatic.
Compound II becomes more acidic, when it has a -NO2 substituent.
The acidity of compounds follows the order I >IV>V>II>III.
The Correct Option is A, B, C
Solution and Explanation
A. is a conjugate base of compound I Which is stabilized by delocalization or resonance.
B. is a conjugate base of, which is an aromatic compound.
C. –NO2 group is a strong electron-withdrawing group, which increases the acidic strength of compound II.
D. The order of acidic strength.

Questions Asked in JEE Advanced exam
A temperature difference can generate e.m.f. in some materials. Let $ S $ be the e.m.f. produced per unit temperature difference between the ends of a wire, $ \sigma $ the electrical conductivity and $ \kappa $ the thermal conductivity of the material of the wire. Taking $ M, L, T, I $ and $ K $ as dimensions of mass, length, time, current and temperature, respectively, the dimensional formula of the quantity $ Z = \frac{S^2 \sigma}{\kappa} $ is:
