`(CH_(3))_(3)C CH_(2)COOH` is more acidic than `(CH_(3))_(3)SiCH_(2)COOH` because

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Silican is electropostive than carbon and therefore has more electron donating effect .

As a result the anion `Me_3Si CH_2 COO ` ( conjugate base ) becomes less stable than `Me_3 C CH_2 COO^(-)` thus `Me_2C CH_2COOH` is more acidic than ` Me_3 SiCH_2 COOH `
