Which of the following is most acidic ?A. Benzyl alcoholB. CyclohexanolC. PhenolD. m-chlorophenol

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Alpha carbon of benzyl and cyclohexanl is `sp^(3)` hybridised while is phenol and m-chlorophenol, it is `sp^(2)` hybridised. In m-chlorophenol electron withdrawing group `(-Cl)` is present at meta position.
Presence of electron withdrawing group increases the acidic strength. So, m-chlorophenol is most acidic among all the given compounds. The correct option is (d).
624.

Mark the correct order of decreasing acid strength of the following compounds. A. `V gt IV gt II gt I gt III`B. `II gt IV gt I gt III gt V`C. `IV gt V gt III gt II gt I`D. `V gt IV gt III gt II gt I`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Presence of electron withdrawing group on phenols, increases its acidic stength. So, both compounds i.e., p-nitrophenol (II) and m-nitrophenol (IV) are stronger acid than (I). If this `-NO_(2)` group is present at p-position, then it exerts both -I and -R effect but if it is present at meta position, then it exerts only -I effect. Therefore, p-nitrophenol is much stronger acid than m-nitrophenol.
On the other hand, presence of electron releasing group on phenol, decreases its acidic strength. If `-OCH_(3)` group is present at meta position, it will not exert +R effect but exert -I effect.
But, if it is present at para position, then it will exert +R effect. Therefore, m-methoxy phenol is more acidic than p-methoxy phenol.
Hence, the correct option is (b).
