Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The arrangement of the compounds
Concept introduction:
Acidity means that the ability of the compounds to dissociate and give a proton. The extent to which a compound can give a proton determines its strength of acidity. The acidity will be higher if the position from where proton has to leave the experience a good amount of electron density pull.
Inductive effect is the push or pull of electron density by a particular group. If the group is pushing the electron density away than it is an electron donating group otherwise, an electron withdrawing group.
Answer to Problem 10.3P
The increasing order of acidity for the compounds
Explanation of Solution
The compounds provided
The inductive effect decreases with the increases in the distance of the substituents from the position of observation.
In the compounds, provided the increasing order of acidity on the basis of inductive effect is shown below.
The acidity of these compounds is due to the presence of hydrogen in the OH group being polar.
