Which electron displacement effect explain the following correct orders of acidity of the carboxylic acids? |
|
Answer» Solution :`CH_(3)CH_(2)COOH gt (CH_(3))_(2)CHCOOH gt (CH_(3))_(3) CCOOH` As the number of alkyl group increases, `+I` effect increase and it STRENGTHEN the `O-H` bond. i.e., `O-H` bond dissociation is very difficult. Therefore `+I` effect explain the correct ORDERS of ACIDITY of the CARBOXYLIC ACIDS. |
