Question

Choose the correct order for increasing acidity 5 rightarrow 4 rightarrow 3 rightarrow 2 rightarrow 1 1 rightarrow 5 rightarrow 3 rightarrow 4 rightarrow 2 2 rightarrow 5 rightarrow 4 rightarrow 1 rightarrow 3 4 rightarrow 5 rightarrow 1 rightarrow 3 rightarrow 2 none of the above Choose the correct order for increasing basicity 1 rightarrow 4 rightarrow 2 rightarrow 3 rightarrow 5 4 rightarrow 1 rightarrow 2 rightarrow 3 rightarrow 5 1 rightarrow 4 rightarrow 2 rightarrow 5 rightarrow 3 4 rightarrow 1 rightarrow 2 rightarrow 5 rightarrow 3 none of the above Choose the correct order for increasing basicity none of the above Order the resonance structures based on increasing stability. 1 rightarrow 2 rightarrow 3 2 rightarrow 3 rightarrow 1 3 rightarrow 1 rightarrow 2 3 rightarrow 2 rightarrow 1 none of the above Rank the following in the order of increasing boiling point.

Explanation / Answer

1. Order of increasing acidity,

e. none of the above

2. Order of basicity (ability to donate electron pair) would be,

a. 1 < 4 < 2 < 3 < 5

3. Order of stability of resonance structure,

b. 2 < 3 < 1

4. Order in terms of increasing boiling point,

b. 1 < 3 < 5 < 2 < 4

branching decreases boiling point. -OH forms intermolecular H-bonds and increases boiling point.
