Question

The correct order of acid strength of the following carboxylic acid is
Carboxylic Acid mcq question image

A. I > II > III > IV  
B. II > I > IV > III
C. I > III > II > IV
D. III > II > I > IV
Answer :   I > II > III > IV
Solution :
Acidic strength depends upon the stability of anion formed of stability of anion formed is high, its acidic strength will also be high. Order of stability of formed anion :
$$HC \equiv CO{O^ - } > {H_2}C = CHCO{O^ - } > {C_6}{H_4}\left( {OMe} \right)CO{O^ - } > {H_3}CC{H_2}CO{O^ - }$$
