The ease of esterification of the acids ...

The ease of esterification of the acids `HCO OH(I),CH_(3)CO OH(II),and CH_(3)CH_(2)C O OH(III)` with `CH_(3)OH` is

A

`(III)lt(II)lt(I)`

B

`(I)lt(II)lt(III)`

C

`(II)lt(I)lt(III)`

D

`(I)=(II)=(III)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
(a) Formic acid (HCOOH) is the strongest acied while propionic acid `(CH_(3)CH_(2)COOH)` is the weakest acid. Therefore, it is the correct order of esterification
