Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To arrange the given alcohols (n-Butanol, sec-Butanol, and tert-Butanol) in decreasing order of acidity, we will analyze the structures and the effects of the alkyl groups on the acidity of the alcohols. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structures of the Alcohols:** - **n-Butanol (1-butanol):** CH3-CH2-CH2-OH (Primary alcohol) - **sec-Butanol (2-butanol):** CH3-CH(OH)-CH2-CH3 (Secondary alcohol) - **tert-Butanol (2-methyl-2-propanol):** (CH3)3COH (Tertiary alcohol) ...
