To determine the decreasing order of acidic character for the compounds given, we need to analyze the acidic strength of each compound based on their structures and the effects of their functional groups. ### Step 1: Analyze the compounds 1. **Benzene (C6H6)**: Benzene is a hydrocarbon and does not have any functional group that can donate a proton (H+). Therefore, it has very weak acidic character. 2. **Methanol (CH3OH)**: Methanol is an alcohol. The hydroxyl group (-OH) can donate a proton, making it a weak acid. 3. **Water (H2O)**: Water is also capable of donating a proton and is a weak acid. However, it is generally considered to be a slightly stronger acid than methanol because the hydrogen bonding in water stabilizes the ion formed after deprotonation. ...
