100%

Arrange in order of increasing acidity.

Answer is: (lowest acidity) B<C<A<D (highest acidity)

Please explain reasoning

The image presents four different organic compounds, each with a letter label:

- **A.** Acetic acid: The structure is shown with a methyl group (CH₃) connected to a carboxylic acid group (COOH).

- **B.** Acetone: This compound is depicted with two methyl groups (CH₃) attached to a carbonyl group (C=O).

- **C.** Acetamide: Illustrated with a methyl group (CH₃) bonded to an amide group (CONH₂).

- **D.** Trichloroacetic acid: This structure features a trichloromethyl group (CCl₃) attached to a carboxylic acid group (COOH).

These illustrations provide a visual representation of the molecular structures, highlighting the specific functional groups and molecular frameworks associated with each compound.
