Question
thumb_up100%
Arrange in order of increasing acidity.
Answer is: (lowest acidity) B<C<A<D (highest acidity)
Please explain reasoning

Transcribed Image Text: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.
