Vedclass · Answer

(A) The acidity of compounds depends on the stability of the conjugate base formed after the loss of a proton. $1$. $Propan-1-ol$ is an aliphatic alcohol and is the least acidic among the given compounds. $2$. Among phenols,the presence of electron-donating groups (like $-CH_3$ in $4-methylphenol$) decreases acidity,while electron-withdrawing groups (like $-NO_2$) increase acidity. $3$. The order of acidity is: $Propan-1-ol < 4-methylphenol < phenol < 3-nitrophenol < 3,5-dinitrophenol < 2,4,6-trinitrophenol$.

List-$I$	List-$II$
$a$. $(i)$ $NaOH$,$(ii)$ $CO_2$,$(iii)$ $H^{+}$	$i$. Benzoquinone
$b$. $(i)$ Aqueous $NaOH + CHCl_3$,$(ii)$ $H^{+}$	$ii$. Benzene
$c$. $Zn$ dust,$\Delta$	$iii$. Salicylaldehyde
$d$. $Na_2Cr_2O_7, H_2SO_4$	$iv$. Salicylic acid

Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of their acid strength: $Propan-1-ol$,$2,4,6-trinitrophenol$,$3-nitrophenol$,$3,5-dinitrophenol$,$phenol$,$4-methylphenol$.
