Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To arrange the given compounds in increasing order of their acid strengths, we need to analyze the stability of their corresponding carboxylate anions, as the strength of an acid is determined by the stability of the anion formed after deprotonation. ### Given Compounds: 1. **Compound A**: (CH₃)₂CHCOOH (2-methylpropanoic acid) 2. **Compound B**: CH₃CH₂CH(Br)COOH (3-bromobutanoic acid) 3. **Compound C**: CH₃CH(Br)CH₂COOH (2-bromobutanoic acid) ### Step 1: Identify the Anions ...
