Question
**Question 2:**

Rank the labeled H's in the following molecules in order of increasing acidity (1 = least acidic, 5 = most acidic). Provide a brief explanation for your ordering.

**Diagram Description:**

The molecular structure has five labeled hydrogen atoms: a, b, c, d, and e. Each hydrogen is part of different functional groups or bonded to different atoms:

- **a:** Attached to a hydroxyl group (HO) next to a carbonyl group (O).
- **b:** Attached to a carbon that also has a bromine (Br) and another hydrogen.
- **c:** Attached to a hydroxyl group (OH) between two carbonyl groups.
- **d:** Attached to a carbon that also has a chlorine (Cl) and another hydrogen.
- **e:** Attached to a hydroxyl group (OH) next to a carbonyl group (O).

Consider the influence of functional groups and electronegative atoms on the acidity for proper ranking.
