Give the decreasing order of acidities of :
(a) (I) `H_(3)C-overset(O)overset(||)(C)-OMe` (II) `H_3 C - CH = O`
(III) `H_(3)C-underset(O^(Theta))underset(|)overset(o+)(N)=O` and explain.

AI Generated Solution

To determine the decreasing order of acidity for the given compounds, we need to analyze the effect of the substituents on the acidity of each compound. The acidity of a compound is influenced by the stability of its conjugate base, which in turn is affected by the electron-withdrawing or electron-donating effects of substituents. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compounds:** - (I) `H₃C-C(=O)-OMe` (Acetate with a methoxy group) - (II) `H₃C-CHO` (Acetaldehyde) - (III) `H₃C-C(=O)-N=O` (Acid with a nitro group) ...
