The correct Answer is:
To determine the acidic order of the compounds \( H_2O_2 \) (hydrogen peroxide), \( H_2O \) (water), \( H_2 \) (hydrogen), and \( D_2O \) (deuterium oxide), we need to analyze the factors that influence acidity. The two major factors affecting acidity are: 1. The size of the atom bonded to hydrogen. 2. The electronegativity of the atom bonded to hydrogen. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Analyze the compounds** - **Hydrogen Peroxide (\( H_2O_2 \))**: Contains two oxygen atoms, which are highly electronegative and relatively large in size. - **Water (\( H_2O \))**: Contains one oxygen atom, which is also electronegative and has a bent structure. - **Hydrogen (\( H_2 \))**: Consists of two hydrogen atoms. It does not have any electronegative atoms bonded to it, making it the least acidic. - **Deuterium Oxide (\( D_2O \))**: Similar to water but contains deuterium instead of hydrogen. Deuterium is slightly heavier than hydrogen but does not significantly affect acidity. **Step 2: Compare Acidity** - **\( H_2O_2 \)**: The presence of two electronegative oxygen atoms makes it more acidic than water. - **\( H_2O \)**: More acidic than \( D_2O \) because oxygen is more electronegative than deuterium. - **\( D_2O \)**: Slightly less acidic than water due to the presence of deuterium. - **\( H_2 \)**: The least acidic because it lacks electronegative atoms. **Step 3: Establish the order** Based on the analysis, the acidic order from strongest to weakest is: 1. \( H_2O_2 \) (most acidic) 2. \( H_2O \) 3. \( D_2O \) 4. \( H_2 \) (least acidic) Thus, the final acidic order is: \[ H_2O_2 > H_2O > D_2O > H_2 \] ### Conclusion The acidic order of the compounds is: \[ (I) H_2O_2 > (II) H_2O > (IV) D_2O > (III) H_2 \]
