Arrange `1^(@),2^(@),3^(@)` liquid alcohols in decreasing order of acidities.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To arrange the 1° (primary), 2° (secondary), and 3° (tertiary) liquid alcohols in decreasing order of acidity, we need to consider the stability of the alkoxide ion that forms when the alcohol loses a proton (H⁺). The acidity of alcohols is influenced by the stability of this alkoxide ion, which is affected by the electron-donating or electron-withdrawing effects of the alkyl groups attached to the hydroxyl (-OH) group. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Alcohol Structure**: - Primary alcohol (1°): R-CH2OH (where R is an alkyl group) - Secondary alcohol (2°): R1-CHOH-R2 (where R1 and R2 are alkyl groups) - Tertiary alcohol (3°): R1R2R3C-OH (where R1, R2, and R3 are alkyl groups) ...
