Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the stronger acid among butanol-1, butan-2-ol, isobutyl alcohol, and tert-butyl alcohol, we need to analyze the stability of their conjugate bases after deprotonation (removal of a hydrogen ion, H⁺). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Alcohols**: - Butanol-1 (1-butanol): CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-CH₂OH - Butan-2-ol (2-butanol): CH₃-CH(OH)-CH₂-CH₃ - Isobutyl alcohol (2-methyl-1-propanol): (CH₃)₂CH-CH₂OH ...
