Arrange the following in increasing order of esterification:
`HCOOH,CH_(3)COOH,CH_(3)CH_(2)COOH,CH_(3)-overset(CH_(3))overset(|)underset(CH_(3))underset(|)(C)-COOH`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To arrange the given carboxylic acids in increasing order of esterification, we need to consider the steric hindrance and the electron-donating effects of the substituents on the carboxylic acid. The more electron-donating groups present, the less reactive the carboxylic acid will be towards esterification due to decreased electrophilicity of the carbonyl carbon. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compounds**: The given compounds are: - HCOOH (Formic acid) - CH₃COOH (Acetic acid) - CH₃CH₂COOH (Propanoic acid) ...
