Question#1
Among the following acids which has the lowest pKa value [AIEEE 2005]
\( Pka \propto \frac{1}{acidity} \)
\( acidity \propto \frac{1}{C-No} \)
Question#2
Which of the following is most acidic [MP PET 2004]
It is picric acid because it has three -NO2 group are arranged which are ortho and para position
Question#3
Consider the acidity of the carboxylic acids,
\( (a) \ Ph-COOH \)
\( (b) \ o - NO_2C_6H_4COOH \)
\( (c)\ p -NO_2C_6H_4COOH \)
\( (d) \ m -NO_2C_6H_4COOH \)
Which of the following order is correct? [AIEEE 2004]
Electron withdrawing group, increases the acidity of benzoic acid, O-isomer will have higher acidity then corresponding m and p-isomer due to ortho effect.
Question#4
The weakest acid among the following is [CPMT 1976, 82, 89; BHU 1982; CBSE PMT 1991; MP PMT 1989; Roorkee 1992; RPET 1999]
\( Acidity \propto -ve I \ effect \)
CH3COOH< ClCH2COOH< Cl 2CH2COOH< Cl 3CCOOH
Question#5
Which one of the following has the maximum acid strength [NCERT 1983]
