Arrange the following in increasing order of acidic strength I. `H_(2)SO_(4)` II. `(CH_(3))_(3)CH(SH)` III. `CH_(3)CH_(2)^(+)OH_(2)` IV. `CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(3)`A. `IV lt II lt I lt III`B. `IV lt II lt III lt I`C. `IV lt I lt II lt III`D. `IV lt III lt II lt I`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Acidic strength depends upon the tendency of a `molecule_(+)` to give a proton. Amond the given `CH_(3)CH_(2)OH_(2)` readily gives a proton so it is highly acidic `CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(3)` has the least tendency to lose a proton, so its acidic strength is least among the given. thus the correct order of acidic strength is
`IV lt II lt I lt III`
